Edward Soolook is a 58-year-old man with chipped front teeth and a pencil-thin moustache who lives in the most remote place in America. A self-proclaimed alcoholic who often sleeps in, he reckons he has suffered from PTSD ever since he came home from the war in Iraq. He has a bad back, suffers from recurring nightmares about World War III and keeps an arsenal of rifles hanging in the entrance to his tiny wooden cabin, which he uses to hunt walruses, seals and polar bears.
