Six hundred years ago, in the aftermath of a bloody confrontation between her Innu tribe, and the Inuit (the “men from the Land of Ice”), Maïna fulfills a death-bed promise to her friend Matsii, following the trail of her enemies to retrieve Matsii’s 11-year-old son, Nipki, who has been captured by the Inuit.
