Living in different worlds and separated by an ocean, a father and son try to stay connected through the power of imagination as their distanced lives pull them further apart. Awale takes a job as a cab driver in Canada's remote city of Yellowknife in order to provide for his family back home in Gaalkaycyo, Somalia. As his wife Warsan and young son Afrah struggle with his absence, Awale creates a world-building epic inspired by the wonders of his new arctic home in order to keep his son close to him. Afrah dives deep into this magical world of Jaÿrikas and through his imagination, the myths, legends and diversity of the North are brought to life in such powerful ways that when tragedy strikes and all the worlds start to collide, Afrah is left with only one choice, to become the King Warrior.
