Synopsis/Details
1. AMANDA PAINE is abducted by the Yah-Ko, a clan of Mohawk skin-walkers that can assume the forms of animals. AMANDA'S boyfriend DIEGO witnesses the abduction but he can't go to the police who will think he's on drugs or insane if he tries to explain the strange creatures he saw.
2. DIEGO asks an old Mohawk shaman JOHN SMOKE for help. JOHN SMOKE calls friends JOSEPH and ANGEL HAWK on the St. Regis reservation who know ancient tribal spells to summon the little people called Nen-Us-Yoks, a shape-shifter clan always at war with the Yah-Ko. ANGEL HAWK is a tribal witch, a powerful warrior who agrees to help DIEGO find AMANDA.
3. DIEGO talks to a state policeman ERIK and shows a photo taken with AMANDA'S camera. ERIK joins the war party of shape-shifters, ANGEL and DIEGO and track the Yah=Ko to the demon's lair on Mt. Marcy where AMANDA is held captive.
