Inhaltsangabe

Were the old stories about a Magical Slot Machine, that his grandparents told him, really true? Dan Burden could't say for sure, but his life had gone steadily downhill after the car crash loss of his wife. In his grief he turned to gambling, and drink, and often visited that same storied casino, hoping he might find if the stories his grandfather had told him were really true, and if they would be of any use to him.
Or maybe Dan visited there trying to find a way to mend his broken life. On his road to discovery he meets an angry Cheyenne man, who had been swept up into a tornado as a youth, and lost his parents there, and received a broken record to his skull.
Their shared desperation form an unlikely pair to combat the forces of nature which carry them forward, to find the lost Sacred Arrows of the Cheyenne, to battle the supernatural and to try to defeat a polluting oil company. A female cashier will join their ranks, who has been abused over the years and fears for the safety of herself and her daughter. Also an old Cheyenne Medicine Man guides them through the many rituals and risks that becoming whole again entail.
This is a Native American superhero tale which mixes history, culture, mythology, and the current gambling culture to attempt to entertain and create understanding for the current Native American mindset.
