    • Synopsis
    • Johnny, a restless Lakota teen, and his spirited little sister Jashaun, live with their troubled mother on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. While Johnny fights to escape his nihilistic life on the reservation by moving to LA with his girlfriend, Jashaun is holding onto her faith in her community and the simple pleasures in her life.

      Things start to change after the funeral of their estranged cowboy father. Johnny’s reckless behaviors start to catch up with him. After finding out about Johnny’s plan to leave, Jashaun wanders away from her broken home, exploring the rodeo world of her late father and forming an unlikely friendship with an ex-con.

      Jashaun's spirit is put to the test as she witnesses the self-destructive nature of those around her. While Johnny, who finds himself in a fight he can't win, is in danger of losing all those he holds dear.
