The Patch

A remote pipeline job in northern Alberta brings together a small crew of men who know the cold, the work, and the unspoken rules that keep you alive in places no one’s watching.

Days blur together. The ground shifts. Animals vanish. One man disappears, and the explanations don’t hold.

What starts as another contract in the oil patch becomes something else entirely—something patient, buried, and hungry beneath the snow.

The Patch is a slow-burn horror story about isolation, labor, and the kind of land that doesn’t care if you leave.
