Plot: The night of the Crazy Horse Casino's grand opening is ongoing. Chief Lincoln Red Crow (Wes Studi) walks around the buzzing casino with a smile on his face, shaking hands with people of importance. He sees a woman in the distance standing on a table, yelling in protest. He apologizes to the man he was greeting and walks over to the table with Shunka (Geno Segers). When he gets closer he realizes it is Gina Bad Horse (Tantoo Cardinal). He pulls Shunka close asking how she got in here, Shunka shrugs. Red Crow orders him to get her the fuck out of there before the press can turn their cameras onto her. Shunka pulls her down from the table and drags her by her hair, leading to people to return to their gambling and celebrating. Once outside, Shunka assures her that he only hasn’t killed her because Red Crow said not to, but if that ever changes, he will gladly do the deed. Gina spits in Shunka's face. He wipes the spit off with his hand and licks it up. Gina is disturbed by this act and begrudgingly walks away. Shunka goes back inside where Red Crow asks him to keep an eye on the door for Gina or any other protestors.
Gina walks to a car in the parking lot where Diesel (Kevin Gage) is waiting for her. He can tell right away that Red Crow had her roughed up. He gets out of the car, gets a machete out of the trunk and marches toward the casino. Gina goes after him, but Diesel angrily tells her to get back in the car and let him take care of things now. Gina tells Diesel to watch out for Shunka as he is surely on the lookout for any trouble now. Diesel gives Gina a quick kiss and tells her he'll use the back door. He then slaps her on the ass. Gina smiles and goes back to the car. She pulls out her phone and tries to call Dash.
Dash Bad Horse (Martin Sensmeier) sits at the bar, while the noise of the casino lingers in the background. His phone begins ringing. He pulls it out, but turns it off when he sees the call is from his mother. In a drunken stupor he begins to tell the disinterested bartender about his mother. She was always more interested in fighting for her causes rather than fighting for and raising him. That’s why he left town all those years back. The bartender continues pouring the alcohol, clearly not bothered by his story, hearing it time and again. Dash stands after his last shot and walks away. He tries to start his car, but he is too drunk to even get the key into the ignition. He eventually gives up, leaving the keys and the car behind as he stumbles toward the main road.
Dash walks along the side of the road, no end in sight, staggering as he does. He simply keeps walking until he sees something that piques his interest: a trailer, surrounded by motorbikes and a car. Dash instantly recognizes the car as Carol Red Crow's. Dash walks up to the trailer door and tries to listen in. He hears some nondescript moaning or groaning. He pulls out his gun and kicks the door open. Inside he finds Carol Red Crow (Jessica Matten), naked and high, surrounded by a bunch of naked bikers. One of the men lunge toward Dash, who pistol whip him and throws him out of the trailer. Another charges him, but Dash throws him through a window. Finally one scrambles for a gun, but Dash grabs his hand, forcing the shot through the trailer's ceiling. Dash orders the rest of the men to leave on their own before he decides to use deadly force. The bikers quickly put their pants back on, scurry outside, and ride their motorcycles away from the trailer. Carol gets up and slaps Dash across the face. Angered, Dash slaps her back, sending her stumbling a bit. Carol tells Dash that she knows he's the one running off all her fuck-buddies. She sits down and lights a cigarette. She explains that at first she though it was her father, but she realized that he doesn't care enough about her to go through all that effort. Carol asks Dash what his end-game is with her. Dash says he just didn't like that she ended up being a cheap whore after all the years he spent away and idealizing her. Carol yells at Dash and throws an ashtray at him. Dash pushes her down into a laying position. Carol flicks her cigarette onto the floor and pulls down Dash's pants. The two begin having sex, trashing the trailer in the process.
