Though Louis agrees to attend his brother’s bachelor party, he is not particularly interested in the planned activities or cleaning up after the drunken groom-to-be. But as the night’s events get wilder he is forced to decide how much he can tolerate.
In 1863, a group of snow-bound travelers invokes the devil, who gives them a flying canoe for them to go home. When one of them finds his wife about to die in labor, he makes a pact with the devil to save her and his newborn daughter Liza. He then cheats the devil of his prize by sacrificing himself. 25 years later, Liza wants to marry her beloved Jos, who has to go away to a remote logging camp to earn money to save his farm, but the devil is determined to ruin her happiness.
