SYNOPSIS:
After years of being terrorized by a sadistic Indian Agent, a young Native girl and her friends plot revenge.
Red Crow reservation, 1976: AILA, a 14 year old Mig'Maq girl, has been rendered parentless by the suicide of her
mother and imprisonment of her father. Aila's been left to the pathological parenting of her drug addled, dopeslinging uncle BURNER, who's raised her to become the weed princess of Red Crow. When her father JOSEPH is
released from prison he's determined to right past wrongs. But he faces a brother who doesn't want him upsetting
the drug trade, a daughter who doesn't need him, and POPPER, a psychotic Indian Agent who wants him back in
prison or dead. What Joseph doesn't know is that Aila plans to leave the reserve upon his release. The only thing
keeping her there is the drug money stolen from her by Popper and her affection for the lost boys of the local
residential school Saint Dymphna's. In a final bid to escape the reserve, she hatches a plot to rob Popper blind and
get her revenge.

EXT. SHOLO'S CRIB. DAY.
Sholo's crib is a run down two story shitbox held together by
paint and grease. It sits nestled next to dead trees and
broken car parts. Aila and Sholo sit on the front porch,
Aila is still favoring her face.
ANGUS (17), a skinny young Indian, comes out holding a couple
of beers. He hands one to Aila, she takes it and holds it up
to her now swelling eye.

The end of the month is coming Sho
and the re-up money is due.
Sholo lets out a sigh and motions for Aila to pass him the
beer. He takes a long hit out of it.
SHOLO
Well, funny story, I was on my way
to give it to you last night so you
wouldn't have to come by today, but
I kinda got distracted.
ANGUS
What he means to say is he got
drunk at a strip club, picked up
some hoor, brought her home and she
robbed his ass.
AlLA
Are you fucking kidding me?
SHOLO
Yeah, so after that, not even the
end of the month and Popper comes
wanting the dues a week early, and
since that fucking tramp stole my
money I didn't have it, and he
didn't take to kindly to that.
ANGUS
Imagine that?
Aila rubs her busted face.
AlLA
Were you guys there when they
raided the joint?
ANGUS
Must've been after we took off.

AILA
We've been fucking set up.
SHOLO
What? Set up for what, he just
stole his own money, that doesn't
make any sense.
AILA
This morning Popper dropped off
Burner all beat up on. And you
think it was an accident that some
stripper took an interest in you at
the end of the month and Popper
knew exactly where to find
everyone? He runs the strippers at
the fish mitten, that money is good
as in the donation box. How much?
SHOLO
All of it. ~

Aila looks at him like she's watching a dog play piano.

is eyeballing empties on his counter top. He sees one
that's half full and downs it. He takes a cigarette out of
an ashtray and lights it. Smoke catches the rays spilling in
through the holes in the blinds. Sholo gags.
Aila watches all of this from the table.
AILA
So we're going to break into Saint
D's and rob Popper.
SHOLO
What •• Say what now?
AILA
We're going to break into Saint D's
and rob Popper.
SHOLO
Oh ho man.
Sholo rummages through the ashtray again and finds a roach.
Fires it wit the cherry from the cigarette. Takes a long
deep haul.

SHOLO (CONT'D)
You wanna go into that fucking
place, fuck that, no way, fucking
Bermuda triangle for Indians, not
gonna happen. I don't give a shit
if you don't do my re-up. Aila, if
I get caught going in there, the
fucking holy rollers there are
gonna fucking take turns super
manning me.
AILA
I don't even know what that means.
Angus peels himself off the couch, obviously hungover.
ANGUS
It's when you cum on someone's back
and stick a piece of SHOLO
Fuck off man.
AILA
And what makes you think Popper
isn't going to do that anyway?
Angus and Sholo look at each other.
Sho gets flustered.
SHOLO
Fuck Aila man, I'm too hungover to
be doing all this thinking.
Aila leans her back on the kitchen table.

AILA
Me and Jujijj stayed up last night
going over how he gets out of there
without nobody seeing him or
knowing he's gone. I drew these.
SHOLO
They know he's gone and your gonna
trust a kid, a little kid.
AILA
Yeah a little kid, and remember he
wasn't the only kid who knew how to
get out of there.
SHOLO
Yeah, but he took the only way out
of that place.
4.
The mood swings, they all know who the kid is. Aila lines
the drawings up one over the other. They form a map outlining
the way into Saint D's.
SHOLO (CONT'D)
What is this shit Aila?
AILA
We drew a map. ~
INT. BURNER'S CRIB.
NIGHT
Juke joint blooze groove on the night air, Indians mull about
double fisting snub nose Molson, getting drunk, high, and
carrying on.
Aila is the cigarette/weed girl for the shindig. She is done
up in the same world war 2 heirloom gas mask she used to
paint the van with. Pigtails sprout from her head like a DC
comic Amazonian. Aila shines post apocalyptic warrior woman
of the wastelands.
She sits behind a large old school desk, she pulls out weed,
she pulls out the jars she gleaned from Ceres.
~She's
flanked on either side by Sholo and Angus, hanging
beside their hands are baseball bats. They pass a spliff
back and forth and contemplate their fates.
ANGUS
You know if we even miss one
fucking payment that's us down with
the sodomites. I'm wearing a
cucumber right now just to get my
hole used to the action.
Sholo cracks up.
SHOLO
Fucking hell man, they gonna beat
us, burn us, ware us down and then
that's us up on the hill. That
place has killed more Indians then
Tuberculosis. We are damned Angus,
fucking hilarious. This weed is
pretty good Aila. You should corne
out and play.
Sholo blows THC toxic. It melds with the haze in the room.
Aila looks back at Sholo with her bug head gas mask on. She
gives a simple shake of her head: NO.
ANGUS
I totally respect that.
SHOLO
We could always make a run for it.
ANGUS
We're lost boys Sho, we spent half
our time in school and half our
time being rez rats.

ANGUS (CONT'D)
We ain't Indian enough to be
reserved and ain't white enough to
be house broke. We're fucking
doomed ... This shit is out.
Angus holds up the joint. Aila turns around and hands Angus
a lighter. Aila's voice comes out tinny from beneath the gas
mask.
AILA
Just so you know, not only will we
get our money back, we're going to
fuck up Popper for even taking it.
Angus lights the joint.
AILA (CONT'D)
Now get into character.
