Kai Hunter, a teen who's part Navajo and part Stoney Nakoda, runs away from social servics to avoid foster care.  She escapes to a big city where she can hide and lies her way into a job and a safe place to live.

Kai's life seems to be falling into place.  She meets a guy who is into motorcycles like herself, but she isn't sure she can trust him.  Should she follow her gut instinct or surrender to her longing for acceptance and love?  Her choices become matters of life and death.
