In the late 1800s, a female doctor arrives in a small New Mexico territory town, where she must deal with the prejudices and challenges of the time.

Along the way, she becomes involved in a romantic relationship and faces various conflicts, including a rivalry with a redheaded woman and a cattle rustling scheme. She eventually earns the respect of the townspeople and helps to create a rural hospital.

As his desperation grows and his disorder takes an ever greater hold, Bakala realises he must fight this ancient curse to unlock the secrets of his Ancestors.
