To find a missing young woman, the new tribal marshal must also find herself. At rock bottom following her daughters murder, ex-Chicago detective Carrie Starr has nowhere to go but back to her roots. Starrs father never talked much about the reservation that raised him, but they need a new tribal marshal as much as Starr needs a place to call home. In the last decade, too many young women have disappeared from the rez. Some dead, others just gone. Now, local college student Chenoa Cloud is missing, and Starr falls into an investigation that leaves her drowning in memories of her daughterthe girl she failed to save. Starr feels lost in this place she thought would welcome her. And when she catches a glimpse of a figure from her fathers stories, with the body of a woman and the antlers of a deer, Starr cant shake the feeling that the fearsome spirit is watching her, following her. What she doesnt know is whether Deer Woman is here to guide her or to seek vengeance for the lost daughters that Starr can never bring home.

Indigenous representation is showcased here as a Native former detective turned tribal marshal searches for a missing rez college girl as well as many murdered women in the area. Aiding her is the mythical creature of folklore, the 'Deer Woman', who speaks for marginalized and forgotten. A commentary on the treatment of indigenous victims in this cultural crime thriller.
