Lights up on Kaitlyn, a Canadian expat at a crossroads. After two years of savouring Parisian streets on a youth visa, her time in France is running out. Her parents want her to return home, but Kaitlyn’s heart is firmly anchored in the French capital. Desperate, she consults an immigration lawyer and receives disheartening news. However, a chance call with her sister reveals a surprising family twist: Kaitlyn learns that her Ukrainian grandfather, born amidst the shifting borders of early 20th-century Eastern Europe, was technically Polish. A revelation that could hold the key to a coveted European passport.

As Kaitlyn navigates her unexpected, newfound heritage, she finds that borders and identity are much more nuanced than she thought. Along the way, she reflects on the meaning of home and the truths she's been running from. Will this newfound heritage solve her problems, or is true belonging something deeper than nationality?
