First Nations teenager Larry Sole, who lives with his mother Verna Sole and her boyfriend Jed, an outdoor guide often away for work, in Fort Simmer, Northwest Territories, moved there three years ago following what Larry classifies as the "accident". As Larry doesn't partake in what most of his peers in the town do, he is literally and figuratively an outsider, not having any friends. The one person he does know from before their time in Fort Simmer, Darcy McManus, bullies him, with Larry refusing to fight back. They were once friends, but one specific incident in their past led to why Darcy now taunts him. Darcy is also the one person among their peers that knows the reason for Larry and Verna having moved to Fort Simmer, that being the accident. One thing that keeps Larry preoccupied is his infatuation with classmate, Juliet Hope. Things have the potential to change for Larry when he is befriended by a new classmate, Johnny Beck, a tough guy who may be able to guide Larry in some key areas, especially in dealing with others. One potential area of conflict between the two is Juliet's attraction to Johnny. Their friendship may also open Larry up to greater scrutiny, his past which he may want kept below the surface. As Larry tries to navigate all these issues, he also tries to reconcile his current life with his First Nations background, Jed who often tries to provide that First Nations touchstone.
