The communal and conforming Hopi have been predicting the cataclysmic shifting of the earth's axis for more than a thousand years. Now that the prediction has been born out, attention is riveted on other prophecies inscribed on the Hopi's legendary, missing stone tablet.
One such prophecy, indicating an alternate energy source, a power grid on a grand scale, has extended tantalizing tentacles to grab even the attention of shadowy thrones behind world governments.

When a series of decapitations by a monstrous-appearing fiend occur on the Hopi Reservation, Janet, just barely this side of sober, offers her services as an out-of-work U.S. Customs tracker to the Two-Hearted Hopi Tribal Council. With the world-famous tourist spectacle a week away, the famed Hopi Snake Dance, the Tribal Council is desperate to apprehend the serial murderer.
Janet, a wild thing, would rather give up drinking than return to the Rez, whose ways she always detested for restricting and smothering her spirit, but she needs a job – and she cannot ignore The Voice, urging her to "Go home."
