Late 1800's Jolene, a 13 year old scrappy mixed race orphan with a very bleak outlook on her future makes a life altering discovery that leads to a dangerous escape with her only trusted friend and discovering how big the world's outside of that terrible orphanage. Disguising her gender identity becomes a must to survive and takes on the alias 'Joe Baker.' The world ain't too kind to women, especially women that look like her. Through a series of twists and turns, Jolene is left clinging to life on the side of a mountain. Will her rescue just be a lucky coincidence or is it fate? Miakoda, a 'Wapiti' Native American girl whose world was shattered from a young age. Everything was taken from her due to colonization. Going into hiding with her grandmother up in the mountains to avoid going into a reservation, there they must rely on each other and the wilds. The world and isolation has turned Miakoda as cold as her surroundings, angry, untrusting and cautious until they discover a young person clinging to life. Will this encounter cause more harm than good? Will they find salvation in each other or will it be their undoing? This story is inspired by the world of Red Dead Redemption 2.
