A first-person memoir about a First Nation woman's passage through a troubled childhood, early and fraught motherhood, and ongoing struggles with mental health and identity. The narrative pieces together memory, family history, and personal reflection to show how past trauma informs present life and relationships.

India Morgan Phelps (Imp) attempts to write her memoir while living with schizophrenia, anxiety, and OCD. Her account circles a romantic relationship with a transgender partner and a fixation on a mysterious, silent woman found beside a road.

Set against the legacy of a notorious reform school, the novel follows characters who confront buried atrocities and the supernatural traces those abuses may have left behind.
