Buddy's sister has been arrested in Santa Fe, and together Buddy and Philbert set off on a road trip to bail her out. But Bonnie's arrest has something strange about it. As the miles roll by, Philbert's faith challenges Buddy's hard-edged view of the world and together they face the realities and dreams of being Cheyenne in modern-day America as they fight to free Bonnie and her children and elude the Feds.
