As Mackenzie's life spirals into a living nightmare -- crows are following her around and she's getting texts from her dead sister on the other side -- it becomes clear that these dreams have terrifying, real-life consequences. Desperate for help, Mackenzie returns to her mother, sister, cousin, and aunties in her small Alberta hometown.
