Visiting in both the winter and spring, the film follows the journey of 7-year old Kenisha and 17-year olds Sharmaine and Brennan, students with different backgrounds, facing difficult career choices. While many students move 500km south to Thunder Bay after high school, for education, jobs, or to try out big city life, something keeps bringing them back to their home.
