At eighteen, Sacha and her best friend Tom leave Montreal on their thumbs and end up in Dawson City, Yukon, among the punks, anarchists and drifters they had dreamed of. They adopt a wolf-dog, Luna, and live in a cabin without power or running water; summer jobs, idle winters, road trips and lovers fill several happy years. When Sacha falls in love with someone else, Tom feels betrayed and turns the village against her, calling her a whore who deserves punishment. Then the pandemic strikes, and in quarantine in an isolated cabin, fending off a roommate's advances, Sacha counts the days while the town puts her on trial. Her account is a plea to be understood and believed.
