Private Investigator James Pinter has been working closely with the Navajo tribal police for nearly a year when a woman dies at the Fort Defiance Hospital under questionable circumstances. The surgeon suspects mescaline, a hallucinogen that is allowed on the reservation for ceremonial purposes. As James starts to dig deeper, one thing seems certain: this sacred tradition is turning deadly.
James and his partner believe this might be their chance to finally pursue Cecil Cody, one of the reservation’s most notorious criminals and supplier of peyote—the button cactus which contains the mescaline���to the Native American Church. Chasing the psychedelic plant’s origins, James finds himself back in Texas where a visit to an old friend leads him to the mountains where the peyote is harvested, and eventually, to a strange lab known for its experimental research.
An investigation that James had hoped would lead to a simple drug bust and the elusive Cody behind bars, has turned into something much more sinister and eerily familiar to his work in Vietnam. When the case takes a turn into the personal, James knows failure is no longer an option.
