Synopsis "Totem"

Greed, corruption and the race to save an ancient homelandWhen Jessie Cunningham, a high-flying Toronto lawyer with a round-the-clock schedule, is deserted and betrayed by her jealous partner, she suffers a nervous collapse. To recuperate, she takes up an isolated charity assignment, mapping trees in the forest wilderness of British Columbia. As her guide to the rugged terrain, she engages Todd Samson, a taciturn First Nations man from the Three Valleys reserve, on the front line of the struggle to save his community from ruthless developers. Two people from vastly different worlds, they are slowly building a rapport when Todd is arrested and falsely accused of murder. Shocked by the police’s casual disregard for evidence, Jessie volunteers to assist a jaded local lawyer with Todd’s defence. But she is soon pitted against darker forces. Teaming up with the Chief of Three Valleys and a local shaman, she finds herself taking on greed and corruption in a race to save the reserve and its people from destruction and Todd from his own demons.
