In June of 1876, amid the chaos and bloodshed of the Little Big Horn battlefield, a young Sioux boy impulsively decides to show his courage by harmlessly "counting coup" on a dying soldier. But when he lays hands on General George Armstrong Custer precisely at the instant of the general's death, eleven-year-old Paha Sapa, whose name means "Black Hills," can't know that their brief contact will result in years of uncanny connection. For at that moment or so Paha Sapa believes, Custer's ghost enters his body and mind, and it will remain within him for many event-filled decades to come.
