To Our Roots was inspired by Jamie's close relationship with his grandmother and his experience with being trans in Newfoundland. It tells the story of Aster and their Nanny Hilda. Aster is visiting home, having been away working as an actor in Toronto. Their Nanny Hilda is struggling with the death of her own mother, and is working on assembling a family tree. As the two delve through boxes left by Great Nanny, they discover family secrets and test the strength of their relationship as they discover what they have been hiding from each other.
