Tim Hyatt is a college athlete and Big Man on Campus, but his plans are very serious: a career as a medical doctor, and a life with his fiancé, Natalie. Taking a year from college to gain work experience on the Lagalero Indian reservation in northern New Mexico, he learns that his new boss, the older but beautiful Elaine Yellow Star, hires a young man every year and expects more from him than a simple cleaning of bedpans.

Star soon seduces Tim and uses him for her own gratification, while teasing and then ignoring the lust she sparks in him. Tim, totally intoxicated, is unable to resist. Her strong will and long experience are more than enough to overwhelm his attempts at rebellion and he finds himself more and more in her thrall. Though neither of them on the rocky but relentlessly growing attraction between them.

The Ancestors of Star plays out against the gritty reality of a modern Native American reservation, where poverty, violence, gangs and Methamphetamine addiction are everyday facts of life. Methamphetamine addiction is the newest threat to the tribal traditions and daily existence and only through determination and sacrifice can People of the tribe hold onto their heritage and customs in spite of their circumstances.
