Dream Singer is the story of Elijah McCloud, a Native American elder who lives reclusively in the mountains of the West. As a young man, he possessed the rare gift of dream singing - the ability to see the future, but lost it through a selfish act. As a result, he became estranged from his family, his Modoc heritage, and from himself. A seemingly chance crossing of paths with a thirteen year-old runaway boy who has witnessed a murder in a rail yard dramatically changes both their destinies. Part love story, tragedy, and mystery, Dream Singer is a story of the betrayal of love, and the quest for redemption, where listening to dreams and the spirit of the land is vital to Elijah and the boy staying ahead of the killer - and staying alive.
