Navajo tribal cops Joe Leaphorn (Wes Studi) and Jim Chee (Adam Beach) delve into the netherworld of illegal archaeological excavations and purloined pots, against a backdrop of Navajo witches, spirits, and lore. Peter Fonda (Easy Rider, The Limey) and Graham Greene (The Green Mile, Northern Exposure) also star in this adaptation of one of Tony Hillerman's best-selling mystery novels.
