Your Fate Lies On Whatever Road You Take…

And, on March 23rd Oscar nominated writer/director Mark Fergus (Children of Men) tells a suspense-filled story in true Hitchcock style about the fate of a wound-tight and cocky, Jimmy Starks, played by Guy Pearce in this psychic thriller called “First Snow”.

Jimmy is a smooth-talking salesman certain he’s on the verge of a big break. Even when his car stalls in the middle of nowhere, a roadside soothsayer (J.K. Simmons) assures him a windfall is on its way. But although Jimmy should be happy when his boss suddenly agrees to financially back his business venture, he starts to become paranoid instead.

As his girlfriend Deirdre (Piper Perabo) and his best friend/ business partner Ed (Ultraviolet and Invasion’s William Fichtner) watch him slowly come unwound, Jimmy wonders if a past betrayal of his friend, newly paroled Vince (Shea Whigham), could be catching up to him. And, as the weather turns cold, Jimmy can’t help but fear the mysterious seer’s other prediction . . . that they’ll be no tomorrow after the first snow.
