Story
The story focuses on Domasi Tawodi (Cherokee) (a.k.a. Tommy), a Cherokee garage mechanic and former U.S. Army soldier living on a Native American reservation in Oklahoma. At the beginning of the game Tommy is in a bar owned by his girlfriend Jen. Domasi is tired of living on the reservation, and constantly tries to push his heritage away. At the same time he tries to convince Jen to leave home with him, if only for a short while, to which she refuses steadfastly. A series of unpredictable events leads Tommy on a path to save humanity and the bonds to his spiritual heritage.
