For the past twelve years, a community of Anishinaabe people have made the Northern Ontario bush their home in the wake of the power failure that brought about societal collapse. But their natural food resources are dwindling. Evan Whitesky volunteers to lead a mission south to explore the possibility of moving back to their original homeland in the Great Lakes region. Accompanied by five others, Evan begins a journey that will take him near the devastated city of Gibson, a land now being reclaimed by nature. But it isn't just the wilderness that poses a threat: they encounter other survivors. Those who live in harmony with the land, and those who use violence.
