Summary: "What side do you come from?" A boy thinks he knows what to expect when he and his mother set out on a road trip to visit his sister. After all, he's traveled this way before. But then their trip is interrupted at the border. "Citizenship?" the guard asks. "Blackfoot," the boy's mother answers. And just like that, mother and son are plunged into a limbo between two countries that refuse to recognize them for who they really are. To make their way, they'll have to break the imaginary lines holding them back. The only true road will be paved by their connection to their identity and each other.
