Cultural anthropologist Marni Hahn arrives in Indian Springs, Okla., for the most important study of her career. She wants to study how becoming wealthy has affected the Osage Tribe. She is met with resistance by Mayor Quinn Cameron who doesn't want the notoriety that Marni will bring to the tranquil capital of the Osage Nation. To make matters worse, Marni has discovered that Quinn's great-grandfather, founder of Indian Springs, was not the hero that local history portrays him to be. She knows that to publish her findings would divide the town and damage Quinn's political future. But keeping silent goes against her academic integrity. Can Marni reveal what she knows without harming Quinn, the man who has stolen her heart?
