Synopsis

This story is about a young man named Tero, a reformed Indigenous gang member who is just released on parole. Upon arriving home, he finds out how dysfunctional his family has become while he was gone. His alcoholic mom has spun even further into the abyss, leaving his 7 year old sister to take care of herself. With bills piling up, and Social Services knocking at the door, Tero is put into a position where he has to find a solution for his family or face serious repercussions. When he thinks all is lost, his old crew presents him with a solution to solve his immediate problems. Sometimes the situations you are born in have great influence on your decisions. When you don't know where you come from and where you are going, you can cause a whole generation to be lost.
