Description:

An eight-part radio drama. In a desire to find home, Julia, a local radio host, looks to leave Kingston for the lights of Toronto and follow her dreams onto the biggest stage she can find. Before she can leave though, she'll have to put up with Alex, a newly minted member of the station after a career in the Music City went sideways. Combined with a cast of characters that can't seem to behave, Julia only wants to move up and out while Alex tries to find his way from falling any further behind his family's expectations. Forged in the crucible of performative personalities and puck battles, True North follows both as they navigate life in the Limestone City while seeking an exit, or an entrance.
