Morgan and Eli, two Indigenous kids in Winnipeg, Manitoba, are feeling disconnected from their culture, each other, kids at school, and their new foster parents -- until they find a secret portal that opens to another reality. Aski is a frozen, barren land, home to Ochek the hunter, and his community. In order to find food, they embark on a dangerous mission to save Misewa before the icy grip of winter freezes everything -- including them!
