In 2000, Lexi Baill studies a map of Washington State while riding a bus with Ms. Watters, Lexi’s caseworker. The bus eventually stops at a terminal in Washington, and the women get off. They wait in an empty parking lot until a Ford Fairlane parks and a woman gets out, calling to Lexi. Eva Lange introduces herself as Lexi’s grandmother’s sister. Lexi and Ms. Watters embrace, and Lexi gets into Eva’s car. Eva drives away and offers her condolences about Lexi’s mother’s death. Lexi looks out the window as they enter the Port George reservation, seeing many Indigenous American symbols throughout the landscape. They arrive at a mobile home park, and Eva parks in front of a trailer. The two women enter the trailer, and Lexi begins to feel a sense of hope when she learns that Eva quit smoking for her.
