5.0/5.0 ⭐

A powerful tale of resilience, identity, and the enduring strength of family bonds.

At the heart of the story is Ezra Cloud, an Ojibwe teen in Northeast Minneapolis grappling with the complexities of belonging and self-acceptance. When tragedy strikes his high school bully, Ezra becomes a prime suspect, and his journey takes an unexpected turn as he seeks solace with his grandfather at the Nigigoonsiminikaaning First Nation.

While a suspenseful thriller in its own right, the story takes on real charm with the parallels of his grandfather's Ojibwe teachings woven into his modern life.
