When a young First Nations client dies in police custody, free-spirited social worker Stevie goes the extra mile to keep the people she works with away from the system she no longer trusts. Opening her home as a haven for George, an ex-con, and gambler, Tracy, a drug-seeking musician, and then Mina, a battered wife, Stevie expertly masks her issues with those of the broken lives she struggles to mend - until she's confronted with the real dangers of crossing professional lines. Set in East End Toronto neighborhoods Leslieville and Riverside, THE RIVER YOU STEP IN is a character-driven drama about how the best intentions can go awry. How far would you go to help someone?
