Seventeen year old Diemendes Carlos Esteban Raul Cortez, born Connor Tseyi’nii tsoh, is a Navajo descendent living in High Pointe, USA. His adopted father is an abusive Portuguese male who renamed Connor upon gaining custody. Every tie to Connor's old world has been severed, but he yearns for the relative warmth the foster system held for him.

After spending too much time with a rebellious girl, Connor has fallen into darkness with almost no hope of return. His grades dropped, his attendance was ruined, he was kicked off his sports team, and he was dropped from the ROTC program at his school. This estranged teen is about to embark on an adventure that will change him back, but he has to survive it and some interesting characters before then.

Rainbow Dash, ace pilot in the United States Air Force and recipient of the Congressional Medal of Honor for "actions above and beyond the call of duty," returns home to the small town of High Pointe with a ruined leg and a heavily-bruised ego.

Months of physical therapy and back-to-back surgeries had more or less saved the limb, though Rainbow Dash knew her dreams of becoming a soccer star were forever crushed, along with her hopes of a swift recovery.

Her personal doubt and loneliness are not just her imagination. The pain of abandonment closes in on all sides, when two specific people from her past show up and start to bring her back.
