Rayna Keetch, a stay-at-home mom from Toronto, heads north to her home community of Binesizhaabose First Nation for a special welcome home ceremony in her honour.

Rayna and her family are being welcomed back into her community with a public ceremony. But Rayna’s mother, Molly Wasnoday, is anything but welcoming with her passive aggressive attitude.

In light of recent and unfortunate events, the Keetch family are forced to stay with Molly indefinitely. Myles enrolls at the high school on the reserve and both Darryl and Rayna search for employment.

Darryl has charmed his way into the inner circle of Chief and council, spearheading a business enterprise that will secure Chief Rowan’s re-election. Rayna starts a manager position at the Beezee Lodge and discovers a young family squatting in a room.

The election campaign starts to heat up and Rowan realizes how formidable his new opponent Mitch will be. Henry provides a sympathetic ear to Rayna in her hour of need and a break-in at Molly’s shocks the family.
