A deserted soldier chases a dog carrying a baby across the plains. Generations later, a trader kidnaps a silent, graceful woman from a powwow - a woman part antelope. This tale of ancestry, fate, and redemption weaves through Minneapolis, where native lives intertwine in unpredictable ways. The Antelope Wife's haunting presence changes everything she touches.
