Given up for adoption the day he was born, Shawn spirals into a life of addiction as he struggles with the broken connection to his Anishinaabe culture and deep resentment toward the mother who abandoned him.

His struggles culminate in a cross-country road trip to confront the person he resents most: his mother. Filmed over three years, this intimate story bridges ancient traditions and modern science.
