James, a talented and conflicted Cree man, has settled into a comfortable middle-class life in Kitsilano, BC. He is living the life he had once dreamed of, but he chafes at being assimilated into mainstream society, removed from his people and culture. The untimely death of James's mother, his only link to his extended family and community, propels him into a quest to reconnect with his roots. During a single year, James takes solace in the richness of the Dakelh culture all the while fighting to keep his dark side from destroying his life.
