Survival forces Dunbar into the Comanche camp, where he strikes up an unlikely friendship and begins a dangerous adventure that changes his life forever.
Each day in the wilderness, Dunbar becomes more and more like the Comanche, learning the ways of a proud and glorious people. But when his past comes back to haunt him, Dunbar must decide who he really is and where his loyalties lie.
