A lawyer returns to her Cree reservation to defend her sister against murder charges.

In a time when Native American legends were a part of daily life, the 10 year celebration of the first people's release from the giant clamshell is in jeopardy as a storm destroys the village, the animals revolt and the chief falls under a dark spell.

Set over the course of seventeen hours, the lives of three young, queer, Indigenous sex workers intersect through chance, relation, and the shared experience of familial and colonial displacement.

Angela (Sera-Lys McArthur) and Henry (Matthew Kevin Anderson), a young Ottawa couple with a baby on the way, embark on a short trip north to the Cree community of KiiWeeTin to visit Angela’s beloved childhood nanny, Mary (Renae Morriseau). When Angela is harassed by a menacing shadow figure, Mary moves to bless and protect Angela and her unborn child with illegal Cree ceremonies and medicine. And as Angela discovers the truth about both her ancestry and the spectral figure’s identity, she must delve into her newfound spiritual traditions in order to defend herself from her husband’s escalating purity-obsessed racism.
