Isabel Deroy-Olson stars as Billie Tsosie, a sharp and determined Navajo teen who is pulled out of her boarding school by her cousin. What begins as an attempt to reconnect with her roots quickly turns into a dangerous adventure where only her wits and resilience save her.

Luke Barnett stars as FBI agent Toby Shaw, who arrives to solve the mystery of a missing friend. In contrast to the often hostile portrayal of the FBI in reservation cases, he develops an unexpected bond with Leaphorn, Chee, and Bernadette Manuelito (Jessica Matten).

Deroy-Olson previously starred as Kara Two-Rivers in Prime Video's Three Pines with Alfred Molina. She also has a role in HBO's upcoming IT: Welcome to Derry. Luke Barnett has guest starred in Apple TV+'s For All Mankind and Fox's 9-1-1: Lone Star, among others.
