Grieving for his murdered family and lost career, the skilled cardiologist reluctantly accepts a position back on the reservation his grandfather “rescued” him from nearly 30 years before. Torben knows life has to go on after three years of mourning.

Will they tally up their fiery symptoms and diagnose true passion?
