Set against a backdrop of grey spruce and muskeg, Cowboy tells
the story of Gilles Desches, a twenty-something who moves from
Montreal to Grande-Ourse, a northern Quebec town haunted by the
grisly memory of a twelve-year-old murder.
Located at the back of beyond, Grande-Ourse is a dismal place
with a bleak future. Until, that is, a Quebec consortium buys up
the town, wanting to turn it into a hunting and fishing paradise
for wealthy Americans seeking city comforts in the middle of
nature.
Working as a clerk for the Outfitters' general store, Gilles is
confronted by a harsh reality in which Whites are pitted against
Natives. He tries to understand, tries to fit in, but only manages
to be caught in the middle of two colliding worlds, discovering a
colourful cast of characters in the process.
