Rayna Keetch, an affluent Toronto stay-at-home mom and product of Canada's Sixties Scoop is about to head north to her home community of Binesizhaabose First Nation for a special welcome home ceremony in her honour. Her husband Darryl returns home with devastating news about his business -- he's bankrupt. In shock, Rayna storms out with their son Myles, leaving Darryl to deal with his mess.

An adoptee and casualty of the Sixties Scoop, Rayna now 45, is being welcomed back into her community in a public ceremony. As well as having to contend with a whole new community that seems to know everything about her, Rayna is getting to know her mother Molly Wasnoday whose passive aggressive nature is anything but welcoming. Rayna's life hits a low point during her welcome home ceremony when Molly has a confrontation with Henry and walks out, her daughter Stacia abandons her and Darryl unexpectedly shows up with further bad news.

In light of recent and unfortunate events, the Keetch family are forced to stay with Molly indefinitely. Myles is reluctantly enrolled in the reserve high school and both Darryl and Rayna search for employment. As it turns out, Darryl's knowledge and skill set is exactly what Chief Rowan Wasnoday needs to get re-elected. Rayna takes on the job of running the rundown Beezee lodge for less than minimum wage.

With Myles busy at school, Darryl at work, Tara juggling her medical duties and running for Chief, her mom angry all the time and her father only speaking Ojibway, Rayna is completely lonely and isolated. She's harbouring a young mother and her children, has no one to talk to and is growing increasingly frustrated. Henry expresses his displeasure with Rowan's campaign platform as tensions rise and a surprise candidate makes himself known to the community, shaking the foundation of the status quo.

Rayna is beginning to settle into her new reality. She reaches out to her sister for help with the young family she's been harbouring at the Beezee lodge and is introduced to the complex reality of the child welfare system. 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, especially Myles.

It's election day on Binesizhaabose First Nation. The votes are in and the community has spoken, leaving both Rowan and Tara shocked by the outcome. The family share in a ceremony led by Henry and Molly who welcome their daughter Rayna to the family officially. Life has led each member of the Wasnoday and Keetch family to this place, where they have all come together, for better or for worse, to face their demons, reconcile their past and find a new way forward.
