Story of brothers Jordin and Terence Tootoo and their quest to be the first Inuit to play in the Canadian National Hockey League. Jordin and Terence Tootoo Story starts in Rankin Inlet, Nunavut during the summer of 2002, as two Inuit brothers are making history. Twenty-two-year old Terence has become the first Inuk to play professional hockey, and 19-year-old Jordin is trying out for Canada's 2002 national junior team and ultimately the NHL. But tragedy strikes when Terence suddenly commits suicide. Jordin, left with the full weight of role-model pressure and the increasing glare of the media spotlight, strives to carry on and realize his dreams.
