In light of recent and unfortunate events, the Keetch family are forced to stay with Molly indefinitely. Myles is reluctantly enrolled in the reserve high school and both Darryl and Rayna search for employment. As it turns out, Darryl's knowledge and skill set is exactly what Chief Rowan Wasnoday needs to get re-elected. Rayna takes on the job of running the rundown Beezee lodge for less than minimum wage.

With Myles busy at school, Darryl at work, Tara juggling her medical duties and running for Chief, her mom angry all the time and her father only speaking Ojibway, Rayna is completely lonely and isolated. She's harbouring a young mother and her children, has no one to talk to and is growing increasingly frustrated. Henry expresses his displeasure with Rowan's campaign platform as tensions rise and a surprise candidate makes himself known to the community, shaking the foundation of the status quo.
