Sister Side

Sister

Young woman in her twenties, schizophrenic, often insists on being the tallest person in the room—so sits on a high stool in the bar and will scurry to a higher sitting place Briggs has built for her when she needs to get even higher. Out of the blue, she will describe historically accurate atrocities committed by the U.S. government but then veer off into utter nonsense. She listens carefully to the conversations at the bar and will react at key points. Her background is unknown. Briggs looks after her because she’s helpless otherwise.

Granddad Side

 Granddad

An old rancher who has lived his whole life on a ranch west of Nederland. After a fire at the ranch killed his wife and only son, Granddad adopted Ice from an orphanage to help out on the ranch. Granddad is pushing 100 years-old. He lies dying on his deathbed, passing in and out of consciousness. The following narration represents his thoughts and reflections as he’s dying. There will be future episodes in the series that will go back in time to show scenes from earlier in Granddad’s life.

Lamar Side

Lamar

Middle-aged FBI agent, war veteran. Half-white and half-Lakota, Lamar grew up on the Pine Ridge reservation. He’s old enough to remember the Wounded Knee occupation of 1973 and the reign of terror by the GOONs that led up to it. He also remembers the 1975 killings of two FBI agents on the reservation. He’s been sent to Nederland to apprehend Jayla, the prime suspect in an execution-style murder of a drug kingpin in Arkansas. Lamar is well-versed in traditional Native American prophecies, the Lakota warrior ethic, and the history of conquest involving Native peoples and the United States. A bit of a trickster, he is somewhat jaded as an FBI agent, counting down the days until his pension kicks in. While looking for Jayla, he stumbles upon a network of illegal activity in Nederland. His superior in Denver advises him to maintain his undercover status and expand the investigation.

Ice Side

Ice

Late twenties, perhaps thirty. Unassuming and likable. He is the adopted son of Ole Granddad, soon to inherit their ranch outside of Ned. Ice is the caretaker of the frozen body at the Tuff Shed, paid to resupply the dry ice. He can fix anything with his hands and is talented in a lot of things (music, telemark skiing, flyfishing) without being exceptional in any one of them. He is smart and intellectually curious, having dropped out of graduate school. When Jayla appears, pleading with him to freeze her dead, Ice’s world is turned upside down. He immediately is attracted to her and imagines he could be the surrogate father for her child Angela. The ranch is in financial trouble, and he will have to come up with a lot of money to save it once Ole Granddad dies. Against his better judgment, he agrees to perform the cryogenics procedure.

Briggs Side

Briggs

A burly bartender and biker who lost a brother in the Vietnam War. Prone to visions and nightmares, Briggs often visits Darcy, the local herbalist, for medicinal tinctures. Quiet and laconic by nature, he is no stranger to violence and knows how to subdue unruly drunks. At age fifty, he studies Buddhism and the warrior ethic. In an effort to improve himself spiritually, he’s taken in a young schizophrenic and given her a home.

Randal Dupree Side

RANDAL DUPREE

Former Vietnam draft dodger and longtime drug dealer. Dupree, with his fast-talking charm, has the rebellious spirit of the sixties. He’s very good at persuasion and making deals. Because he believes the system is rigged and corrupt, he feels justified in engaging in illegal activities. He’s motivated by hustling and making money to the point that it’s not always clear if he’s fair or ethical in his dealings, even though he swears he doesn’t steal from friends. He also passionately defends Nederland, its independence and occasional lawlessness.

Darcy Side

Darcy

Fortyish, an herbalist-shaman who runs an off-grid apothecary in Nederland. She is the aunt of Jayla who has come to her for help. Darcy is independent, intelligent, and dedicated to healing. She will perform two shamanic journeys: a soul retrieval for Jayla, and a crossing-over ceremony for the soul of Angela’s father. She is challenged by her different roles as shamanic healer and family relative of Jayla.
