After Otter's mother, a binder of the dead, dies rather than allowing herself to be possessed by a ghostly White Hand, Otter and her friends venture beyond the bounds of their forest settlement to find the White Hands' origin. This spirit-filled fantasy world gives a hair-raising sensation of being surrounded by unknown dangers and evokes Native American cultures without caricaturing them.
