The film focuses on a First Nations girl named Aila and her family on a reserve in Canada. Her parents attended residential school where they experienced trauma that continues to haunt them into adulthood, which results in substance abuse. During Aila’s childhood it is still mandatory that children attend residential school, but her family pays off the Indian agent to prevent Aila from having to go. Once the money is stolen, Aila is forced to attend residential school.
