Summary:
Set in the often starkly beautiful Badlands of South Dakota's Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. With an older brother in jail and living with their single mother on Pine Ridge Reservation, Johnny and his sister Jashuan's lives develop new challenges when their absentee cowboy father suddenly dies. The loss prompts Johnny to strike out for Los Angeles, but would mean leaving behind his beloved sister. Most of the key players are young Lakota Native Americans.
