Johnny "Thunder" Thunderbird, a Lakota American Indian, has been tasked with designing and opening an American Indian Cultural Center in South Florida built to teach non-natives about their history and culture.
Isabel "Isa" Gonzalez, a Cuban legal immigrant, has caught Thunder's eye, and he is willing to beg, tease, dry-clean her clothes, and even embarrass himself to get a date with her.
Their relationship is hot and tumultuous, with a lot of twists and turns. Can these two very different people from different walks of life make it work in this ever changing world? Will their families break them apart or bring them together?
