After her husband deserts her, working-class mother Ray Eddy is in great need of money to find a home. Lured by the possibility of easy cash, she joins Lila, a widowed Mohawk who earns a living by smuggling immigrants from Canada to the U.S. across the St. Lawrence.

This survival story swaps cinematic spectacle for the chilling, quiet desperation of two women risking everything on a frozen waterway. Instead of typical crime tropes, the tension builds through the freezing landscape and the heavy weight of poverty.
