            The story is set in Oregon, U. S. territory, 1877 near the close of American Indian wars in the Pacific Northwest. Nakomay, main character played by Foust, is in hiding from vigilantes dead set on ridding Native Americans by murder or human trafficking. Forced to emerge from hiding, Nakomay escapes death but loses her remaining loved ones. Alone and on the run, she finds shelter in a nearby home of a well-established pioneer family and is befriended by Ethel, daughter and mother-figure, played by Tomchik. This pioneer family includes Civil War veteran father, Thomas, played by Bob Grove; older brother, Benjamin, played by Stephan Lunsford, younger brother, James, played by Elias Kamplain, and Ethel. The family plays an integral role in bringing hope of a better life to Nakomay, while dealing with their own brokenness from pangs of the Civil War.Ethel gains Nakomay's trust and the two begin to form a bond as sisters. In this place of reprieve and unconditional love, Nakomay feels a glimpse of restoration while she struggles through the process of accepting her pain and loss. Benjamin, Ethel's older brother, falls in love with Nakomay while James, making an unplanned appearance after stints of absence from the family, shows blatant prejudice to Nakomay. Later, Nakomay faces the same vigilantes who've targeted her since her parents were killed for interracial marriage.Together, the family and Nakomay heal from the throes of war. Hope is the central theme of the film with the message that, in spite of everything, hope beckons us to rise above heartache and suffering and overcome.
