Set on an Ojibwe reservation in North Dakota, this fictional tale tells the story of 13-year-old Joe Coutts tells the story of his quest for justice after his mother is brutally assaulted, exploring themes of family, culture, and the legal complexities of crimes on reservations through a coming-of-age lens. It blends a suspenseful crime narrative with rich cultural detail, including elements of Ojibwe belief and tradition.
