Looseley based on Homer's classic story, The Odyssey, Underworld tells the story of Hector as he tries to regain his sanity while navigating the criminal underworld of Canada's most underpublicised city of vice: Winnipeg. In the madness that Hector finds in the warrens of drug dens and whore houses that line Winnipeg's seedy streets, he literally forgets that he has a wife and child. Trying to make amends with them is just one of the ways that Hector seeks redemption; fighting to stay alive and fighting for his sanity are the others.
