Summary: Luke and his brothers leave their Arctic village for Sacred Heart School, where speaking Iñupiaq is forbidden. Amidst cultural clashes and strict rules, Luke, Amiq, Chickie, and Junior navigate a world where their identities are challenged. As they form unexpected bonds, their stories intertwine, promising to change Sacred Heart—and themselves—forever. Can they find a sense of belonging in a place that demands they forget who they are?
