Synopsis

A performer in Buffalo Bill's Wild West circus, Charging Elk falls from his horse and suffers injuries that leave him stranded in turn-of-the-century Marseilles. Scared, disoriented and hamstrung by bureaucratic red tape, he becomes embroiled in a shocking murder and love affair that will change his life beyond his wildest imaginings. Welch has produced a haunting epic of culture shock, discovery and personal redemption.
