Yammie returns to Uashat, on Quebec's North Shore, to teach French and reconnect with her roots. At the Manikanetish school, named after the woman who first taught Innu children to read and write, she meets Marc, Myriam, Mikuan and Rodrigue, students who are trying to take their lives in hand. She rediscovers Nutshimit, the inland territory, and the meaning of the word transmit. Yammie will try everything to pull the young people out of their distress, even putting on a play with them.
