Kehinde is older than his years, a boy with an innocence and a passion for mixed-race girls. Joanne is dipped in rudeness and rolled in attitude. And then there's Rugrat, the class clown, underachiever and playground loudmouth. The boy who never leaves, the schoolgirl trying to distance herself from her past, and the schoolboy always on the outer of the inner circle – in this lyrical triptych of interconnected monologues, three inner-city teenagers are about to become adults.

Based on a real conflict, Cottagers and Indians explores contemporary conflicts between Indigenous and non-Indigenous sensibilities with humour and fairness. Based on a real-life event still occurring in the Kawartha Lakes region of Central Ontario.

A comedy of errors: Martha, a teetotalling pillar of the church, is stuck with 143 cases of beer after a church fundraiser fails. She decides to bootleg the beer to the horror of her son who is a special constable on the reserve where they live. He is smitten with his "cousin". Martha's daughter is sorting out relationship difficulties caught between an attractive pow-wow dancer and her conservative common law husband.
