- After the death of her mother, a young trans woman returns to the family farm where she sees her father and sister for the first time since her transition.
- When a young woman with a startling resemblance to John Andrew's wife Miranda appears days before her funeral, John Andrew MacGinnis begins an odyssey towards understanding. His son Donald is now Dawn, home to mourn her mother and repair the estrangement with her Dad. An ancient tractor becomes a focus for the mechanically-minded Dawn, but John Andrew's long-simmering resentments about the tractor heighten family tensions. As they restore the family tractor Dawn and her Dad cautiously rebuild their relationship and come to understand the mechanics of the heart.—jacat-90679
- John Andrew and Miranda Maginnis run a dairy farm in rural Nova Scotia, John Andrew the farmer and Miranda the businessperson. John Andrew may face problems maintaining the farm upon Miranda's sudden passing following a battle with breast cancer as he doesn't know anything about the business end. Their eldest offspring Tammy Maginnis and her fiancé Byron who live in Toronto rush back to Nova Scotia upon the news of Miranda's death. However, neither John Andrew or Tammy knows if his son/her younger brother Donald Maginnis even knows about Miranda's death in he having not kept in touch since he left home five years ago. Donald does show up, sort of, now as Dawn, the gender transition beginning when she left home. John Andrew and Tammy further learn that not only did Miranda know about Dawn, but that Dawn was one of her confidantes regarding the seriousness of her cancer, the other person being Miranda's best friend, Jenny. Beyond needing to deal with some small minded locals who knew her solely as Donald, Dawn has come to make amends with somewhat temperamental Tammy and less than demonstrative John Andrew, this rebuilding of family relationships Miranda's dying wish. What factors into what happens is the 1954 vintage tractor in the barn, which has not functioned for as long as the girls have been alive and which has symbolic meaning to both John Andrew and Dawn.—Huggo
