The need to find a way to heal leads him to Montana on a mission to help manage an infamous wildlife challenge: killing migratory buffalo outside of Yellowstone Park who are presumed to carry in infectious disease for cattle. This places him in the middle of conflicts between a band of Indians determined to save the buffalo, law enforcement, and the cattle industry.
