Story is told by a narrator who is a psychologist in Indian country. What appears to be a consultation with a patient ends up becoming a meeting with his teacher, Tarrence. Tarrence proceeds to take the narrator into a dreamtime journey that melts the worldview held by the storyteller. The dream leads the narrator to a place in which the energy generated by ancient dreamers must be balanced. The lack of balance brought on by the power dreamers and their ceremony resulted in the atomic bomb. New realms also give insights as to why the bomb was dropped on Japan. Throughout the story there are conflicts between Western and Indigenous ways of knowing, the main protagonist being Carl, who is a psychiatrist.
