A sanctuary city that holds their future.
In a near-future New York crushed under authoritarian rule, history teacher Laek can no longer hide his radical past. After a brutal confrontation with the NYPD, he and his family must flee across the border-by bicycle-into Québec. Their only chance lies in convincing Montreal to grant them refugee status.
Janie, an activist lawyer, fights to build a new life while protecting her family in a transformed Montreal. Between legal battles and cultural adjustments, she discovers that sanctuary comes with its own challenges.
Their children, Siri and Simon, must navigate a new world where everything is different-the language, the culture, and their place in it. As they adapt to their refuge, they learn that sometimes the strongest borders are the invisible ones we create ourselves.
Will they find safety in their new home, or will the past catch up with them?
