The dams on the Missouri River did more than take away Indian bottom lands, for tribal cultures were disrupted and lives forever changed. A young Lakota's quest to heed his grandmother's vision and seek revenge against the white man for the dams becomes entangled in white man racism and legal system injustice. The miscarriage of justice leads to a murder and to an eco-terrorist plot that brings together a white girl and the young Lakota. With the help of a white lawyer and the FBI, Charlie Red Tail and Johanna Johnson take mystery to a strange conclusion that is hidden in the world of crime and in an unexpected place.
