Synopsis

When a series of murders and a desecrated sacred site are discovered on the Navajo Nation, veteran officer Joe Leaphorn and his younger partner Jim Chee are drawn into an investigation that stretches far beyond the crime scene. The case pulls in a Navajo elder's oral history, a professor's research into Navajo mysticism, and the shadowy legacy of the outlaw Butch Cassidy — all converging in a story about the power of tradition, the weight of the past, and the cost of desecration.
