“Laying down on his back, his mouth open, Edward Curtis is waiting for the rain, he is waiting for the pounding of the first drops, the coolness, he’s thirsty, the welcome rain will wash his body of dust and blood. Suddenly, his body rises. The new world promised by his father, Reverend Curtis, opens before him. He sees the face of God. “Bastard!” he hears himself spit in God’s face. “You bastard!”
July 1900. Bourgeois Edward Sheriff Curtis leaves his family and his Seattle studio for an expedition to Nebraska, dreaming of the photograph that would make him world-famous. In the middle of nowhere, he is attacked and robbed by bandits. Strangely enough, because of a picture that escaped from his wallet,... July 1900. Bourgeois Edward Sheriff Curtis leaves his family and his Seattle studio for an expedition to Nebraska, dreaming of the photograph that would make him world-famous. In the middle of nowhere, he is attacked and robbed by bandits. Strangely enough, because of a picture that escaped from his wallet, Curtis’ life is saved. Even stranger, the bandit who spared his life takes Curtis with him on a long and dangerous journey.

Who is this mysterious cowboy? What links him to the hanging of thirty-eight Sioux in Minnesota forty years earlier? What are they doing on this Reserve among Indians so far removed from his childhood imagination that Curtis is unable to take a picture of them?
