A sweeping tale of life in Sault Ste. Marie from the 1930s through
the Second World War. Clara Durling and her teenage daughter, Ivy,
move to Sault Ste. Marie in 1932, where Clara is starting a job as
head nurse at the local residential school. As Clara adjusts to
life in the Soo, she discovers the town is a many-layered society.
Clara works with Indigenous children who have been ripped from
their communities and now live frightening, lonely lives in a
crumbling building. While Clara struggles to deal with the despair
at the school, Ivy makes a friend from the working-class Italian
community and has a brush with the bootlegging underworld. After
high school, Ivy heads to nursing school in Montreal but finds
society's expectations for young women do not foster their
self-reliance. As Ivy struggles with sexism and societal norms, she
and Clara seek to bring humanity to those living at the margins of
society.
