Shayla is an attorney working in South Dakota who in the opening convicts a young Lakota boy in a homicide. She returns to her family home on the Lakota reservation to take a break from the toll the case took on her. Once there, she begins to hear and see visions that she believes to be from her recently departed father and later becomes convinced its an ominous sign of her missing brother. She seeks help from elders and their advice leads her to confront some truths about her life and the people in it. Along the way she ends a relationship and possibly begins a new one with a local tribal officer who helps her investigate the mystery.
