Kirk Iglesias is a Cultural Anthropologist at UCLA during the 23rd century. He specializes in the aboriginal tribes of the American Southwest (circa 1500-1900). He is given the opportunity to travel back in time to observe Cochise and his tribe. Because his mother had always said that she was directly descended from Cochise, this has become a driving force in Kirk's life, including his career choice. This makes the time travel opportunity something that he cannot refuse. Little does he know, but he will meet the love of his life in that past and will make deep alliances with others in both time periods. For Kirk, it creates a conflict. Return to his previous life, or stay in the past. Kirk can only make one choice, and the one he makes, forever changes his life.
