Ollie Hale finds herself on probation after being caught illegally crossing the border from North Dakota into Canada. With her newfound determination to rebuild her life, she is faced with the pressure of fulfilling her probation requirements in just eight days.

With a ticking clock, Ollie searches for job opportunities in Spokane. Her resolve is tested as she navigates through temptations of returning to her old life, including a dangerous offer to sell prescription drugs.

Ollie's sister Deb is grappling with her own challenges as she discovers she is unexpectedly pregnant. Already a single mother raising her son Johnny, she feels overwhelmed and isolated, leading her to reach out to Ollie for support.

As the sisters try to reconnect, they face the reality of impending foreclosure on their deceased mother's house. Although Ollie negotiates a lower down payment, the financial burden remains a significant stressor.

To help Deb, Ollie takes the risky step of recovering a stash of 500 hidden pills. Her plan is to sell them to raise money, but her past catches up with her as local drug dealer Bill confronts her during a job interview.

Faced with Bill's threats, Ollie makes a critical decision to co-operate with him instead of risking illegal smuggling. This choice pulls her deeper into the criminal underworld as she seeks to secure funds for her sister and herself.

Struggling with the financial burdens of childbirth, Deb decides to terminate her pregnancy. However, finding safe medical care proves to be a significant challenge, adding to the pressure on both sisters.

As Deb prepares for her abortion, disaster strikes when her trailer is towed, taking away Ollie's money for the house and her hidden stash of pills. This incident escalates their already dire situation and creates new challenges.

In a frantic bid to control the chaos, Ollie breaks into the pound to retrieve their belongings. Unfortunately, she finds that everything has been damaged, deepening her sense of desperation and urgency.

Ollie decides to go along with Bill on an illegal drug run into Canada, convinced that this will provide the funds necessary for her sister's abortion and to secure the house. This risky choice puts them in even greater danger.

In the lead-up to crossing the border, Deb resorts to theft to obtain a fake Manitoba ID. This act represents the lengths to which both sisters are willing to go to regain control over their lives.

The sisters successfully cross into Canada, gaining access to medical care for Deb's abortion. This moment is both a relief and a new dawn, as they take significant risks for the sake of their futures.

While waiting for Deb to complete her procedure, Ollie receives news that she has secured a job in Spokane. This update inspires a sense of hope amidst the turmoil that the sisters are facing.

The sisters spend a poignant last night together in Canada, filled with conversations of resilience and future aspirations. Ollie reassures Deb of her strength and independence, solidifying their bond amid chaos.

In the morning, the sisters make their way back to the United States. Although they leave behind a turbulent chapter, they carry with them a renewed sense of hope and a commitment to supporting one another.
