Bodies of young people – Navajo, Hopi, and Apache – are found in the high desert, desecrated. A serial killer? Animals? Or organ harvesting? A group of young men, Navajo and Hopi, recruit a forensic anthropologist and an investigative reporter to help solve the mystery.

The young men form the E’e’aahjigo Kiva Society after being disenfranchised from their scout troop. The kiva is dedicated to preserving the culture and traditions of both the Navajo (Diné) and the Hopi (Hopituh Shi-nu-mu).
