For Sam Comstock, a young Iraq war vet, the need to find a new way of healing his wounded PTSD soul is a matter of life or death. His Marine sniper skills lead him to Montana on a mission to help manage an infamous wildlife challenge: killing migratory buffalo that wander outside Yellowstone Park and are presumed to carry an infectious disease for cattle. This places Sam seriously at odds with a renegade band of Indian warrior-dreamers who are determined to save the buffalo from slaughter. Thrown together and isolated in the Montana wilderness, meanwhile relentlessly pursued by the combined forces of military, law enforcement, and the cattle industry, Sam and his Native compatriots must learn to overcome their differences and hostilities, and depend upon one another for survival. Along the way, Sam becomes enmeshed in the way of the buffalo, thereby confronting his suicidal pain and emerging from a long trail of suffering, as if from a womb into a new way of seeing. He learns that the buffalo have something vital to teach him about surviving in a hostile world, leading to a whole new understanding of personal power. Through Sam’s growing relationships with various tribal members, most importantly, a romantic interlude with a young Lakota woman PhD wolf expert, we come to understand that we all have much to learn from our native neighbors who were treated so poorly but who have so much to give. We may even discover our own inner buffalo spirit.
