Nat, inexplicably thrown through a rift in time, is falling for an uninhibited tribal woman he has just met. More than a century before his birth. Tapique is a healer, who mystifies Nat with knowledge seemingly beyond the world she inhabits. The world of the Mojave, who recently welcomed two orphaned Mormon girls into the tribe. It is sometime after the Mexican-American War. Nat's previous life now out of reach in the distant future, he will make a new life with this woman, helping her and her people survive famine and the growing number of Anglo-Americans pushing westward. One of those, a scout for the U.S. Army, reviles Nat from their first meeting and the spite only grows. When the man gets wind of the Mormon sisters, the situation turns deadly.
