Governor Hogan of the Hudson Bay Company calls Jonathan Banner and Pierre Falcon to York House. He gives them the unsavory mission of killing a Native American leader called the Prophet, who considers himself to have magic over the white man's weapons. On their journey, Banner and Falcon find evidence of the Prophet - a burning cabin; a murdered family; and an injured man and his Chippewa guide, a young woman named Aneetka. The man dies, and Banner and Falcon continue to look for the Prophet with Aneetka's help. In the forest, they encounter the Prophet and his tribesmen, but Banner resists shooting him from a distance. Banner continues on alone, finding the Prophet's camp and challenging him to a knife fight. Banner kills the Prophet, and returns to Aneetka and Falcon, and regretfully parts ways with Aneetka.
