Set in 1998\, the film features Russ Sheppard (Ben Schnetzer) as a young teacher who has just moved to Kugluktuk\, Nunavut — a community which had one of the highest suicide rates in North America at that time. When it comes to his attention that one of his students\, Kyle (Booboo Stewart) is using the school storage bins to seek refuge from his abusive father\, Russ decides to start an after-school lacrosse program in an attempt to offer students a safe space. Although the school principal\, Janace (Tantoo Cardinal)\, agrees to provide funding for the team\, Miranda (Emerald MacDonald)\, another of Russ’ students\, cautions him that no one will join the team unless he can convince a select group of boys to sign up. \n
