"Little Woods" follows the compelling story of Ollie, a resourceful woman living in a North Dakota oil boomtown that has been battered by economic hardship. For years, Ollie has operated under the radar, illicitly assisting the town's struggling residents in obtaining Canadian health care and necessary medication, bypassing the barriers imposed by their own dilapidated system. Her work is a lifeline for many, a quiet act of resistance in a community grappling with poverty and limited opportunities.
Despite the risks and the constant threat of law enforcement intervention, Ollie remains determined to serve her neighbors and keep them afloat. However, as authorities begin to catch on to her underground operation, Ollie finds herself facing increasing pressure to cease her activities and protect herself from legal consequences. The looming danger forces her to consider leaving behind the crusade that has become her purpose and identity.
Just as Ollie plans to step away for good, a desperate plea from her sister pulls her back into the fight. Bound by family ties and a fierce determination to support those she loves, Ollie is drawn even deeper into the challenges of her community. Her journey highlights the complexities of survival, loyalty, and the sacrifices made in the face of systemic failure, painting a vivid portrait of resilience in a harsh and unforgiving environment.
