Alice, a new mother and the only Indigenous resident in her upscale Toronto neighborhood, is grappling with her identity, motherhood, and the gaping void left by her own mother's death. Despite her supportive, yet culturally appropriative husband's assurances, Alice is unraveling. Her connection to her daughter Dawn is strained, her confidence in her writing is faltering, and unexplained occurrences, like missing time and strange voices, are unsettling her. As her neighbors' passive-aggressiveness escalates into true menace, Alice's work on a Haudenosaunee creation story becomes more than a literary endeavor; it's a lifeline that she must complete to protect herself and her daughter from a creeping danger rooted in denial, trauma, and the eerie reality that unfolds.
