Ava, a counsellor setting up a Pentecostal summer camp on a Northwest coast island, finds two fugitives from El Salvador who've wrecked their stolen boat while trying to reach the Canadian border. Over the course of a long day, Ava must decide whether she will -- or can -- help them. Meanwhile, at her summer cottage, Reena and her son Greg spy on them with Greg's drone, and this conflict ends in calamity. The film, shot entirely on Gambier Island, B.C., pits Ava's spiritual values against the maxims of organized religion and fear of the unknown.
