Judy and her husband Ed live with their 18 year-old son Jamie in a remote, isolated community at the edge of Stuart Lake. Judy has suffered from Parkinson's Disease for 19 of the 23 years she and Ed have been married, with Ed acting as her supportive carer, helping her to complete basic tasks such as getting dressed and taking her medication. Despite her illness, Judy attempts to lead a normal life by attending a Parkinson's support group each week to help manage her disease. Jamie spends most of his time hanging out with his best friend Danny, smoking and playing hockey. When Danny moves away for college, Jamie finds himself at a loose end, struggling to fully deal with the enormity of his mother's illness and feeling left behind as Danny's phone calls become more sporadic. Ed convinces Jamie to get a job in the Alberta oil fields.
