With the exception of an occasional visit from Sam Nez, a member of one of the local pueblos, Cody is enjoying life the way he likes it--alone in the company of his horse and mule.Thoughts of Ellie, his wife, continue to run through his mind as he tends to his new property, but soon those thoughts are interrupted by a series of coincidences that lead him to believe that he is being pursued by a shape shifter.
