About WE LIKE IT CHERRY:

Documentarist Ezra Montbanc thinks he's hit the jackpot when he receives an invitation to document the rites of a mysterious, hitherto unknown tribe: the Winoquin, who reside in the harrowing, inhospitable Arctic.

It's a shot at the prestigious journalism career he's long envisioned, and a path out from the borderline-exploitative series detailing the celebrations of Indigenous tribes he's been mired in with his life and filmmaking partner, Stu.

Buzzing with possibility, Ezra and his crew depart for the home of the Winoquin, only to find themselves in a frozen and bloody battle for survival atop an inaccessible glacier ritual site, where men and mythical horrors hunger for sacrifice.

Review Quotes

"A harrowing tale of identity and redemption through violence. Wicked!"

• Tim McGregor, author, Lure and Eynhallow

"Darkly atmospheric. A story of love and humanity as much as it is horror and the supernatural. Bloody, frozen and full of heart."

• Laurel Hightower, author of The Day of the Door

"Blood-soaked and brutal. A nuanced story of tradition vs. survival; spirituality vs. modern world; and communal tribe vs. chosen tribe."

• Carlos E. Rivera, author, White Harbor trilogy
