"One Sunday in the spring of 1988\, a woma n living on a reservation in North Dakota is attacked. The details of the crime are slow to surface as Geraldine Coutts is traumatized and reluctant to relive or reveal what happened\, either to the police or to her husban d\, Bazil\, and 13-year-old son\, Joe. In one day\, Joe's life is irrevoca bly transformed. He tries to heal his mother\, but she will not leave her bed and slips into an abyss of solitude. Increasingly alone\, Joe finds hi mself thrust prematurely into an adult world for which he is ill prepared.
\nWhile his father\, who is a tribal judge\, endeavors to wrest jus tice from a situation that defies his efforts\, Joe becomes frustrated wit h the official investigation and sets out with his trusted friends\, Cappy \, Zack\, and Angus\, to get some answers of his own. Their quest takes th em first to the Round House\, a sacred space and place of worship for the Ojibwe. And this is only the beginning."
