A young man down on his luck meets the woman of his dreams in an adult education course. But this is no ordinary male fantasy: the man is a Pakistani-Canadian artist with a treatable recurrent cancer; the young lady is an Indigenous princess just returned from art school in Europe to her father's glass summer palace in Muskoka. This romantic comedy, set in mid-Toronto and on Lake Rosseau, plays with the intersection of Indigenous, settler, and immigrant success stories against the background of mortality and the stars.

The narrative explores the transformation of young athletes into commodities within the world of American football, highlighting the intense tracking and recruitment processes they face from a young age. It delves into the pressures, aspirations, and challenges these young men encounter as they navigate their journey through the sport, ultimately questioning the implications of such commercialization on their lives and identities.
