A story of magic, family, a mysterious stranger . . . and a band of marauding raccoons.
Â
Otter Lake is a sleepy Anishnawbe community where little happens. Until the day a handsome stranger pulls up astride a 1953 Indian Chief motorcycle â and turns Otter Lake completely upside down. Maggie, the Reserveâs chief, is swept off her feet, but Virgil, her teenage son, is less than enchanted. Suspicious of the strangerâs intentions, he teams up with his uncle Wayne â a master of aboriginal martial arts â to drive the stranger from the Reserve. And it turns out that the raccoons are willing to lend a hand.
