Across a series of increasingly surreal flashbacks, an extended Indigenous family argues about what caused their boat's motor to breakdown and leave them stranded. As they consider the causal roles played by ancestral spirits, the regulatory state and the Christian faith, the film makes manifest the multiple demands and inescapable vortexes of contemporary Indigenous life.
