After two decades protecting innocent victims on the run, and a year after getting shot on a job that took a dangerous turn for the worse, Jane McKinnon, nee Whitefield, has settled into the quiet life of a suburban housewife in Amherst, New York--or so she thinks. One morning as she comes back from a long run, Jane is met by an unusual sight all eight clan mothers, the female leaders of the Seneca clans, parked in her driveway in two black cars. A childhood friend of Janes from the reservation, Jimmy, is wanted by the police for the murder of a local white man. But instead of turning himself in, hes fled, and no one knows where he is hiding out. At the clan mothers request, Jane retraces a walking trip she and Jimmy took together when they were fourteen in hopes that he has gone the same way again.
