Ariel and Tomah have lived in the city's intertribal housing complex all their lives. But this Dagwaagin (Autumn) season is different than any before. From his bench outside the front door of his building, Tomah watches his community move around him. Often it feels like his neighbor Ariel is the only one who really sees him. Ariel has always danced ballet because of her Auntie Bineshiinh and loves the way dance makes her feet hover above the ground like a bird. But ever since Auntie went missing, Ariel's dancing doesn't feel like flying. As the seasons change and winter gives way to spring, Ariel and Tomah begin to change too as they learn to share the rhythms and stories they carry within themselves.
