After two tragic accidents in the Cree reserve Wounded Sky, in which his parents were killed, 17-year-old Cole Harper grows up with his aunt and grandmother in Winnipeg. Cole is supposed to overcome his trauma and leave the past behind him. He no longer has contact with his three closest childhood friends, Ashley, Brady and Eva - until one morning he is flooded with text messages by Ashley asking him to come back to Wounded Sky immediately. Against all external and internal odds, Cole goes on the journey ...
But what is actually going on in Wounded Sky? And what does it have to do with Cole Harper? Who is the mysterious Choch and what's the story with the burning Jayne? With Cole Harper's return to Wounded Sky, an exciting and quite dangerous adventure begins. Only slowly does Cole manage to combine his rudimentary childhood memories and the threatening events of the present and to realize the meaning of his mission ...
