Since her sister’s disappearance, Jax (Lily Gladstone) has cared for her niece Roki (Isabel Deroy-Olson) by scraping by on the Seneca-Cayuga Reservation in Oklahoma. She dedicates every spare minute to finding her missing sister while Roki prepares for an upcoming powwow. At the risk of losing custody to Jax’s father Frank (Shea Whigham), the pair hit the road to track down Roki’s mother in time for the powwow.
