Friends on a weekend excursion take a path into a forest that leads to death and destruction.

Everyday in Halifax, a ceremonial blast fires from a canon. The Noon Gun sends a rattle through the old wooden homes of the North End. Within one of these homes, an elderly woman dotes over her graffiti writer grandson. An interracial couple walk tensely down a side street. A recovering alcoholic cop lectures his street-wizened young partner as they walk the beat. On one day in particular, the Noon Gun blast ties these groups into a sequence of events. As these events unfold, each group’s perspective grows, obscuring reality and ultimately effecting each other’s lives.

The Halifax Harbour Grudges are embarking on their most important season ever. After nine years of hard work and a revolving door of leadership, they've finally been given the chance to compete on the international track. Jumping the Apex focuses on the diverse group of women and non-binary folks that have dedicated their lives to the sport. Their attitudes, relationships, and skill levels are tested beyond belief. But in the pursuit of becoming a world-class organization, can these small-town players protect the innocence and charm that has made them such a special team?
