Carol, an eager actor, is waiting for the oddest audition she’s ever attended. She doesn’t know what the role is or who invited her there. But after receiving a letter telling her where to be and when, she finds herself in an abandoned building as a storm rages outside, hoping this might be her big break.

A backwoods bar in a blizzard. Feuds thought buried brought back to light. The Oak Room is a distinctly Canadian thriller: a sort of “Northern Gothic” tale examining notions of memory, masculinity, and the power of storytelling.
