It's 1904 and a young man sets out to discover what happened to his mother's brother who, as a ten-year-old boy, was kidnapped by Comanches thirty-four years before.
Harry Bonner encounters the rugged canyons and prairies of New Mexico and Texas, where the land, people, and cultures challenge his upbringing as a privileged child of a wealthy Missouri family. He battles Comanche magic, puzzles his way through strange dreams giving glimpses of his mysterious uncle, and suffers the brutality of men terrorizing the Texas countryside, all while being consumed by a new-found love in the unlikeliest of people.
When that love is taken from him, Harry explodes with violence and rage. His revenge is complete but is emotionally adrift when he is suddenly thrown into the last episode of his uncle's life.
