Cousins follows three Māori cousins – Mata, Missy, and Makareta – who lead separate lives, yet are bound together forever. Orphaned Mata believes she has no whānau (family) and lives out her lonely childhood in fear and bewilderment. Back home in New Zealand, Makareta flees an arranged marriage to study law and begin the search for her missing cousin. She leaves behind Missy who takes on her role of kaitiaki (guardian) of the land. As years pass and land surveyors begin to encroach, their promise to bring their stolen cousin home seems more unlikely than ever, until a chance encounter changes everything.
