Kyle has just returned to his hometown to accept a medicine bundle he inherited from an ancestor who was unjustly hanged in 1862. The ancient bundle contains tools giving Kyle the power to time travel and reverse a curse on a century old document. Arriving into town just after four teenagers are found brutally murdered, newcomer Kyle becomes a prime suspect. With the FBI hot on his trail and a jilted, childhood sweetheart learning to love him all over again, Kyle escapes into the past where he must confront the dark forces responsible for the curse and save the "38" or risk losing them to the hangman's noose forever. It's a fierce battle between good and evil that Kyle must win. Only the sacred ceremonies of his people and Kyle's sheer determination will save the 38, but will he successfully change history for the Great Sioux Nation?
