Rez's Edge

It's late at night and Dakota's father, Gordon, is driving them home down a lonesome highway.  It's 1975, two years after the takeover and occupation of the village of Wounded Knee by the American Indian Movement (AIM) and a militant population of 300 Indians.

Headlights pop over a hill, blinding Gordon.  The oncoming vehicle streaks across the double-yellow lines, smashing into Dakota and his father.  Their car careens, catches, flips, and smashes into the ditch.  Dakota is seriously wounded.  His father is dead.

After a year of rehabilitation, Dakota returns to his first day of eighth-grade middle school to face his mental demons and the tribal cousins of his father's killer.

Welcome to Dakota's hell!  Welcome to the REZ's EDGE!

- - 'REZ's EDGE' – "Destruction & Redemption" is the engrossing, touching, action-packed adventures of Dakota Charleston.
