Half Mohawk, half Caucasian, Marc Morris is a deeply bitter, disillusioned young man searching for purpose. He hunts and kills animals so he won't kill men, and yet he has faith-if only faith in the idea of faith, and he desperately wants to dedicate his life to something. Marc's story begins the day after his failed suicide attempt and traces back through the 10 years preceding the event, when he sets out on a road trip across North America to poach big game, find love in all the wrong places, and search for something to believe in.
