Fifteen-year-old Brian Cramer, a descendant of Chief Red Cloud, has pitched his way into Major League scouts' radar but faces challenges at home. If not for his loyalty to his mother and ten-year-old sister, he would seek refuge from his abusive stepfather with relatives at Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. A homicide happens near his home. He suspects his stepfather. His girlfriend convinces him to talk to her grandfather, an attorney. Brian leads a detective to incriminating evidence, but his stepfather flees. Brian must decide--pitch in a championship game or track down the killer into a national forest where only one will survive.
