A fifteen-year-old runaway named Dumas Daniels and his strange young friend, July Bobby, meet a Navajo soldier on his way home from Afghanistan.  He takes them to his great-grandmother’s place deep into the Navajo reservation in Northern Arizona, to hide from a violent biker gang whose leader  has been disrespected by the young soldier.

It is here that Dumas comes to understand the meaning of commitment, and it is here that Ms. July Bobby discovers her destiny.  It is here that the past and the future come together in the land of the shadows.
