Bluenose Country follows the intersecting lives of five women, each of whom has survived devastating experiences. As they and their families meet the challenges of same sex marriage, Down Syndrome, sexual assault and homicide, they must learn to balance their modern lives with their traditional upbringings. In the face of close-mindedness, violence and the unrelenting march of time, the residents of this small Nova Scotia town come to learn the value of family and to understand that love must, eventually, conquer all.
