What happens

Little Lorraine is a 2025 Canadian crime drama film, directed by Andy Hines. Hines's debut feature following a career directing music videos, the film centres on the story of the small town of Little Lorraine, Nova Scotia, a small seaside fishing village which became embroiled in an international cocaine smuggling ring in the 1980s. The song changed the location from Louisburg to the nearby town Little Lorraine, and the drugs being smuggled from hashish to cocaine for rhyming purposes. The film stars Stephen Amell, Sean Astin and J Balvin in his acting debut, as well as Matt Walsh, Rhys Darby, Stephen McHattie, Steve Lund, Sugar Lyn Beard, Hugh Thompson, Mike Dopud, Kaelen Ohm, Joshua Close, Auden Thornton, Manuel Rodriguez-Saenz, Mark A. Owen, Dax Ravina, Luis Javier and David Mortimer in supporting roles. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
