In a small Canadian town, tragedy strikes when a school bus slides off an icy road into a frozen lake, resulting in the death of most of the children from the community. The incident leaves the town in mourning, ripping apart the fabric of the community as parents grapple with their grief and search for answers. The bereavement and the quest for blame drives a wedge between families and friends, casting a shadow over the once tight-knit community, as everyone tries to come to terms with the incomprehensible loss.

Into this sea of sorrow steps a big-city lawyer, who sees an opportunity in the collective grief. He encourages the families to file a class-action lawsuit, promising them closure and compensation for their unimaginable loss. His presence and persuasions, however, introduce a new layer of discord. As he delves deeper, trying to untangle the circumstances that led to the accident, community members are forced to confront their own roles, secrets, and the possibility that seeking justice might also mean exposing painful truths. Through this, the story explores the complexities of grief, the search for justice, and the search for healing in the aftermath of a devastating tragedy.
