On the cold spring morning of April 19, 2020, a woman staggered from the woods outside Portapique Nova Scotia. Her bare feet were blackened from running through the woods, and she was covered in scrapes and bruises. She hammered on the door of a neighbor, who let her inside and called 911.

As Mick's wife giggled at the back of the pub, Mick poured himself into the Elvis song "Suspicious Minds" apparently unable to read the room.

The atmosphere was Pure glitz and glamour, setting the scene for a night to remember. As Amie Harwick stood on the red carpet, waiting to be photographed, she suddenly heard a familiar voice say the words “It’s funny seeing you here.” It was Amie’s ex-boyfriend.
