Giant Mine, Yellowknife, September 18, 1992. Months into a bitter labor dispute, a volatile situation is worsening. Some on the picket line are starting to call for blood. Already the mine has been vandalized with small bombings. At 8:30 a.m. this day, nine strike breakers cross the picket line and board a man-car going into the mine. Minutes later, all are dead in a horrendous explosion. Within forty-eight hours, the police are calling it murder. What follows is one of the most intensive manhunts for a mass murderer in Canadian criminal history - told through the eyes of the town that lived through it, the cops who cracked the case and the man finally convicted of killing nine innocent men.
