Une juste cause - La série

Jerry Lincoln est bien ennuyé : son entreprise d’expertise en informatique située à Sioux Falls procure plus de travail qu’un seul homme peut en gérer. Heureusement, cela signifie qu’il peut recruter quelqu’un pour l’aider. Il espère seulement qu’au final, son nouvel employé, John Black Raven, sera davantage pour lui une source d’aide que de distraction – sauf que les yeux profonds et les longs cheveux de John l’empêchent de se concentrer. John est venu en ville pour faire des études et obtenir la chance de sa vie, ce qu’il n’aurait jamais eu à la réserve. Cependant, ce qui compte dorénavant le plus pour lui est de trouver un emploi et de le garder. Sa sœur est décédée six mois plus tôt et ses enfants sont désormais en famille d’accueil. Bien que la loi soit de son côté, John ne peut en obtenir la garde – il ne peut même pas voir son neveu et sa nièce. Alors que Jerry et John se rapprochent, John comprend qu’il n’est pas obligé de lutter seul. Jerry l’aide à obtenir le droit de visite et lui apporte un soutien indispensable. Pourtant leurs victoires ne sont pas sans déboires. Les services de l’aide pour l’enfance sont impliqués dans des histoires d’argent, de politique et de tracasseries administratives, et les enfants amérindiens sont leur moyen de subsistance. Or, John et Jerry sont bien décidés à se battre pour la bonne cause et à en sortir victorieux – à plus d’un titre.

Bryce Morton needs a change of scenery. Since his partner's death a year ago, he's become withdrawn and quiet, so his friends, Jerry Lincoln and Akecheta (John) Black Raven, convince him to go camping with them on a Sioux reservation. Though he's not immediately sure he's done the right thing, Bryce becomes more interested when he meets Paytah, the man who owns the reservation's trading post. Paytah Stillwater's life is filled with hurt, and sometimes the only thing he has left is pride. After being abused as a child and disbelieved when he spoke up, he has withdrawn into himself - but he can never truly put his past behind him, because the source of his pain still lives on the reservation. Paytah is proud of his heritage and careful with his heart, but when Bryce commits a selfless act of kindness for one of the reservation's children, the walls around Paytah's heart begin to melt. Bryce and Paytah each fight the pain within them. When Paytah's abuser sets his sights on one of the reservation youngsters, Bryce and Payton must set their individual fights aside. Finding a way to stop the abuser unites them to fight their way forward - together.

Will Martin's racist father, Kevin, hates Native Americans and wants to keep them off his property, never mind that part of the ranch land is sacred ground for the Sioux. When they request access for prayer, Kevin refuses - but Will doesn't share his father's views. Ever since he first saw Takoda Red Bird during one of the Sioux sacred ceremonies, Will has been fascinated. He grants the tribe access. Takoda defies Kevin on a regular basis. He often sneaks to the sacred site on the rancher's land for prayer and knows Will has seen him there. When, out of spite, Kevin places the land up for auction, Takoda knows it is time for action and bands together with Will to stop the sale. In the fight that follows, Will gets more than he expected. He starts out helping the tribe preserve their identity... and ends up finding his own.
