Plot summary
Jax supports herself and her niece Roki by stealing cars on the Seneca-Cayuga reservation in Oklahoma, after her sister Tawi went missing. The tribal police and the FBI decline to open a missing persons case, because Tawi has disappeared before. Jax learns that Tawi sold methamphetamine for Boo, who runs a convenience store and scrapyard, at the oil workers' camp. When authorities learn of Jax's criminal record, child protective services place Roki with her estranged grandfather Frank, who will not let her live on the reservation or attend the powwow. Jax enters Frank's house, takes Roki and drives off in his car, telling her niece they will find Tawi at the powwow in Oklahoma City. Frank reports the abduction to the FBI.
