Alaska Rainmaker, an Indigenous bounty hunter still troubled by her mother's murder, lives life on the fringes of society. When her father, Jake, a seasoned detective seeks her help to stop a killer, she agrees to join the investigation if he helps her with her mother's unsolved murder. Knowing the killer's latest victims share wounds like her mother's, Alaska forms a theory that an evil spirit based in her cultural lore, may be involved. Meanwhile Jake follows clues in a labyrinth of diverse characters, descending deeper into the city's dark underbelly. Soon the two face an inevitable truth that lies somewhere between an ancient culture and a postmodern world which includes Alaska embracing her own traditional, ancestral bear medicine known as 'Maskwa'. She must then shamanically integrate this ancestral 'Makwa' medicine in order to heal herself and defeat this evil shadow spirit which has been plaguing her, her culture, and planet earth.
