Downloaded more than 3,730,000 times since May 2012[9] and winner for Best Drama Pilot at the 2010 New York Television Festival, the show was independently produced and financed by viewer donations.

The series itself was released under an Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike Creative Commons license and is distributed for free in collaboration with VODO, as with Bernhard's previous independent film The Lionshare, over the Internet including peer-to-peer networks.

Federal agents working for the American Department of Homeland Security get involved, receiving permission from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police to operate in Canada.

The man is in an unstable condition and his initial blood work shows signs of severe cancer, with his doctors proclaiming him too badly injured to transport.

Not believing the note and wanting to announce a Department of Homeland Security success to the press, the American DHS orders Agent Taylor to bring the man back to the United States as a suspected terrorist, despite his severe condition.

Believing the note could be true, Taylor ignores his orders and destroys the permission from the RCMP, forcing his team to stay on site.

Because the project lacks funding by traditional means such as a TV station or DVD sales, money had to come directly from the fanbase.
