Annie Bird, a young Cree woman, lives with her family in the very rural Moosonee, Ontario. Her sister Suzanne left for Toronto over a year ago, and went missing, with no word of her since. The local Cree drug dealers believe that her Uncle Will has told the police about their operations while Suzanne owes them a debt, beating and harassing him.
Annie, along with a friend, visit Toronto to see the city and also look into Suzanne's disappearance. She stays, looking to track down her sister, but it becomes clear Suzanne (a model) was into bad things. Annie, along with her family, are increasingly endangered by the drug dealers after with what she learns about Suzanne.
!Tropes:
* AboveTheInfluence: Jesse rejects Annie's coming on to him while she's high the first time, but then has sex with her anyway.
* ActingForTwo: Actress Tayana Beatty plays both twins Annie and Suzanna Bird.
* ActionGirl: Annie learned to hunt and shoot from her Uncle Will, which she uses very effectively in the film to protect her family. The poster shows her sighting down a rifle's scope.
* AlwaysIdenticalTwins: Annie and Suzanne are identical twins (played by the same actress). As little girls, only their mother and Uncle Will could tell them apart.
* AmbiguouslyAbsentParent: Annie and Suzanne's father is not around, or even mentioned in the film. However, Uncle Will, their mother's brother, fills in as a paternal figure to them.
* AncestralWeapon: Will has his grandfather's rifle, which he fought using during World War Two, which he threatens Marius' gang when they come to confront him.
* BadassInDistress: Will is beaten twice by drug dealers seeking to learn where his niece Suzanne has gone to, while he's adept using a rifle otherwise. The second time leaves him hospitalized.
* BadassNative: Will is skilled with a rifle, easily sniping Marius with it. His niece Annie too, having learned from him, guns down two drug dealers. Both are Cree.
* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:Annie saves both her mother and uncle from the drug dealers, returning home. Will recovers and wakes up. Suzanne is still missing though, along with thousands of young indigenous women in Canada, and probably dead.]]
* CountryMouse: Annie comes from Moosonee, a rural town in the north of Ontario living with mostly other Cree people. On visiting Toronto, the provincial capital, with her friend, both of them are pretty overawed by the city at first. Annie is clearly a FishOutOfWater there at first. She's quite unused to the spotlight, acting stricken in the wake of an interview she does with Jesse for instance.
* DomesticAbuse: Suzanne was abused by her boyfriend Gus, but she refuses to leave him.
* TheFilmOfTheBook: It's the adaptation of a novel with the same name by Joseph Boyden in 2008.
* FriendlySniper: Will is a nice man overall, though when pushed sufficiently he shoots Marius in the head to protect his family against his gang.
* HowWeGotHere: The film opens with Will being threatened by men, then shows what led up to this later near the end.
* TheInformant: Will is thought to be a police informant by Marius' gang, who harass and threaten him for it. It's actually his sister Lisette.
* JackBauerInterrogationTechnique: Danny chokes Annie, throws hot water on Lizette and later clubs Will trying to information from them about Suzanne's location.
* KickTheDog: Will first spares an old blind female black bear, then starts to feed her sympathetically. He respectfully covers her with a blanket and holds what seems like a mini funeral when she dies.
* MsFanservice:
** Suzanne worked as a model before her disappearance. She was very beautiful, with her modeling shots seen at the studio naturally with her in revealing outfits.
** Annie, her twin sister, is briefly shown topless while in bed with Jesse post coitus then nude from behind and the side while dressing afterward.
* OutsideInsideSlur: Annie calls Jesse a fake Indian, as he's living in the city with white friends in a modern, urban style, but she apologizes for it later (he doesn't care).
* PetTheDog: Marius and his gang kill the black bear Will had been feeding as a warning to him that his sister is next.
