One spring, a nine-year-old Cree boy is visited by a master carver named Lindy, who gives him four pieces of soapstone. Lindy explains that each piece of soapstone already holds its true form inside, and that the secret to carving is finding out what that form is. As the seasons change, the boy must look to his own experiences and pay attention to the signs and whispers from the world around him. Only then will he discover what lies hidden inside his pieces of stone.
