Seismic Trail

When Jack purchases a new drilling machine for his seismic exploration in northern Alberta, he expects that his biggest problem will be transporting the equipment from Venezuela back to Canada. Instead, he and his employees attract unwanted attention from a Mexican drug cartel and must flee home, evading threat and attack along the way. When Jack’s family is dragged into the conflict, he must decide: how far is he willing to go to protect the ones he loves?

John Zylstra brings the forests of northern Alberta to vivid life in this exploration of the Canadian oil industry. This story of one family’s struggle to survive crosses international borders, raises questions of faith, justice, and forgiveness.
