U.S Marshal Mike Donovan has dark memories of the death of his first love. He keeps peace between the Americans and the natives who had temporarily adopted and taken care of him. The evil actions of a white sorcerer lead him to confront the villain in the Sacred Mountains, and, through shamanic rituals conquer his fears and uncover a suppressed memory he would much rather deny.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Jan Kounen spent years living with indigenous Mexican communities to research shamanic practices, which explains the film's authentic ritual detail amid its chaos.
Based on the Franco-Belgian comic 'Blueberry,' this was Europe's expensive answer to Hollywood Westerns — and promptly bombed everywhere, becoming a cult curio instead.
