In the 19th century, applejack salesman Jean Kayak (Ryland Tews) loses everything when a colony of beavers destroys his orchard and business. Stranded in the snowy wilderness, he must learn how to survive by trapping animals and trading furs. What begins as a desperate struggle for survival gradually turns into an increasingly ambitious quest as Jean attempts to master the skills needed to thrive on the frontier.
Using a blend of silent-era comedy, cartoon-inspired visual gags, and inventive practical effects, Jean faces a seemingly endless army of beavers and other woodland creatures that constantly outsmart his efforts. As he develops more elaborate traps and strategies, his battle against nature escalates into a wildly absurd adventure filled with slapstick humor, escalating challenges, and relentless physical comedy from director (Mike Cheslik, Lake Michigan Monster)
