Adam Garnet Jones’ first feature explores themes of love, loss, isolation and longing in a group of First Nations young people. When a teenaged girl commits suicide in a remote Northern Ontario Aboriginal community, it’s up to her brother Shane (Andrew Martin) to take care of their family. Shane was supposed to move to the city for university in the fall, and he has been trying to convince his secret boyfriend David (Harley Legarde-Beacham) to come with him, but now everything is uncertain. Shane is torn between his responsibilities at home and the promise of freedom calling to him from the city. He pushes through barrier after barrier, determined to take care of his mom, save their house and earn money for school.
