It's 1956, and six-year-old Eddie Toma lives near the Salmon River on the far edge of the Okanagan Indian Reserve in the British Columbia Southern Interior. When tragedy strikes, Eddie is left grief-stricken, confused, and lonely. Every time things look up, circumstances beyond his control crash down around him. This is the story of what can happen when every adult in a person's life has been affected by colonialism; it tells of the acute separation from culture that can occur even at home in a loved familiar landscape.
