Two young urban dwellers, Cowboy Smithx, a Blackfoot Aboriginal and Chris Hsiung, a 1st generation Chinese-Canadian, embark on a roadtrip across traditional Blackfoot territory. Across cinematic prairie landscapes guided by the wisdom of modern day elders, two unlikely travel companions rediscover their shared history and in one tragic moment come to understand their responsibility as stewards of the land and of the generations yet to come.
