Stories and legends of a medicine woman banished from her village for being accused of being a witch are told around the campfires. Tales of the wondrous gifts of plants with healing medicine in the mountains near her village make a young woman determined to find the elusive herbs and the medicine woman with the knowledge of their use. Go'diah needs the witch's wisdom to help her dying grandfather before he is driven mad by his dreams. An ancient curse lies over her village. With the blessing of her elders, she sets off with her dog, Midnight. To find what she seeks, Go'diah must first make her own way through the mountains and undertake spirit journeys of both visions and nightmares to find her own answers. She must travel the old mountain trails which, the tales say, can make you lose yourself or your mind. Go'diah will discover what she never expected to find.
