It's 1971. Hal Sachs runs a used bookstore. Business isn't so great, and
the store is in a part of Toronto that's about to be paved over with a
behemoth expressway. And then Hal meets Lily Klein, an activist
schoolteacher who'll do just about anything to stop the highway. It's
love at first sight. Until it isn't. And then Hal vanishes.
A half-century later, Hal's nephew, Aitch, waits for his baby to be born
as he tries to piece together facts and fictions about Hal's
disappearance.
Splitsville is a diamond-cut love letter to a city whose defining
moment was to say 'no way' to a highway, and a look at the obsessions
that carry down through a family.
