Torn between the innocence of childhood and a rebellious adolescence, twelve-year-old Beans comes of age during The Oka Crisis, which rocked Quebec for 78 tense days in 1990. Through the conflict, Beans matures into a tough Mohawk warrior who withstands the challenges of an indigenous woman in a country with a contentious history concerning native rights.
