故事发生在1971年莫纽门特谷地附近纳瓦霍族保留地的一个偏远前哨站，部落执法官里的Joe Leaphorn警督（Zahn McClarnon 饰）被一系列看似无关的案件搞得应接不暇。他越是接近真相，越是揭露出自己过往的创伤。Leaphorn和新来的警官Jim Chee（Kiowa Gordon 饰）一起调查着这些案件，而Chee也有些年轻时在保留地的一些宿怨需要解决。两人一起在通往救赎的道路上，与邪恶势力、彼此和他们自己的心魔战斗。本剧根据Tony Hillerman的“Leaphorn & Chee”系列小说改编。

Two hapless drifters, Frank and Bruno, team up with Linde to recover her land and trek across 1870's Southern Arizona to find an elusive frontier musician. The complex quantum time theory is blended with philosophical musings about art as the way we understand our history and memories, with gunfights, horses, dance halls, cacti, and saloons!
