One day, he discovers a development company has begun construction on his ancestral lands. In a fit of rage, Little Red attacks one of the engineers and is arrested for assault and trespassing on his own lands. In jail he meets his court-appointed lawyer, Larry, who agrees to help Little Red get his lands back. Larry convinces his wife, Desdemona, to allow Little Red to move into their basement while they sort out Red's case. Desdemona and Red strike up an uneasy relationship. When Red notices that one of Desdemona's eyes is slightly lazy she becomes increasingly neurotic, convinced that Little Red is up to something. Despite herself Desdemona, who is not accustomed to being thrown off her game, is increasingly drawn to Red's apparently hypnotic Indigenous charisma. As sparks begin to fly between them Larry prepares to fight for Little Red's Land Rights. An unexpected intervention by a greater power occurs in the court case, and nothing will ever be the same.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKevin Loring is a member of the Nlaka'pamux First Nation in Lytton, B.C.
