J. W., a small-town banker, has just been caught stealing to support his gambling addiction. He is on the verge of losing his family when his boss gives him one chance to make amends: sabotage the creation of a competing, Native American-owned bank. J. W.'s mark is the favorite son of the local reservation, Johnny Eagle. Eagle knows the odds are stacked against him, but the bank's success is all he has left. When J. W. moves onto the reservation, he forms an unexpected bond with Eagle's delinquent son -- a relationship that gives him both the access to do Eagle in and hesitation about the plot. A suspenseful, eloquent dive into small-town life that reveals the insidious impact of institutional racism, "Sins of Our Fathers" presents a story of economic struggle, the moral and spiritual deprivation it produces, and the possibility of redemption we each hold within our grasp.
