On her quest, Sarain accompanies a young family friend on a journey of her own as she works to complete her coming out process with her friends, family and pow wow community.

She also meets with other members of the Indigenous community. Along with queer fellow human beings, old guardians of knowledge and the well-known drag queen Ilona Verley, she sheds light on their stories, and on their perspectives on indigenous and sexual identity.

Through these connections, Sarain gains a better understanding of who she is, where she came from and what the future holds for the next generation of queer Indigenous youth.
