"Oh, the dreamer that I am!"

Based on a true story about a remarkable Navajo man who grows up amid two cultures - the Navajo way and Western society.

He is raised by his grandmother on the reservation, where she teaches him how to walk in beauty... but his life dramatically changes when an excruciating pain starts to cripple his body, and Ashkii becomes confined to a wheelchair.

In his early twenties, he moves to Las Vegas to work construction after his health seems to have improved. However, Ashkii's chronic illness returns with a vengeance, and at the age of 33, he is admitted to a nursing home. Doctors and even medicine men try to heal him but to no avail.

Despite Askii's jovial and positive personality, his dreams of a better life slowly begin to fade away into the dimness of the night.

Why does he have to suffer so much?

Is there no relief for him?

Is there no balm in Gilead?

If God is so great, why doesn't HE help him?

Will God hear Ashkii's desperate cry for help?

Then, a new activity director starts working at the care facility...
