Bureau of Land Management Enforcement Ranger Bailey Calhoun becomes embroiled in a mystery that even he does not believe is possible. Tracking a murder case on BLM lands, he finds an improbable link to a race of people thought to be just legends when he discovers the mummified head of what seems to be a pygmy Indian. Bailey is after thieves who are looting a tomb of the Nimerigar, known in Indian legends of the Arapaho, Sioux, Cheyenne and Crow as "the tiny people eaters." He has to locate the tomb before the thieves can sell all the artifacts on the black market. Time is running out when twists and turns on the trail lead to unexpected loves and betrayals, and perhaps, even the death of Bailey.
