Rosie is a visibly Indigenous, English-speaking, sweet, and headstrong little girl and her mother has just died. A children's services agent brings her to her only living relative, her Francophone aunt Frédèrique. "Fred" doesn't have a solid foundation on which to raise a child. She is unprepared - she's working at an adult entertainment shop and threatened with eviction - and is at first unwilling to take on caring for her adopted sister's young daughter.
