In the unmapped wilderness of seventeenth century Canada, French
Jesuit missionaries armed with Bibles harvest souls for the Roman
Catholic Church, competing with European fur traders fortified with
guns. When Tikanaka, a Wendat maiden girl, pushes
seventeen-year-old Remy Moisson into an icy Canadian river, he
considers the absurdity of being captured on his first mission for
the explorer Robert Cavalier de La Salle, but is instead set free
and left wondering why a young girl attacked him with no motive.
Tikanaka eventually seduces Remy who has spent most of his life
in a French monastery school. Entranced by his first sexual
experience, Remy is torn between this Indian maiden and his desire
for adventure with La Salle who is determined to find the mouth of
the Mississippi. Trysts with Tikanaka deepen Remy's attachment and
just as he is beginning to fall in love, he leaves her to join La
Salle's voyage. Upon his return, Remy learns that Tika's tribe has
been attacked and massacred by the Iroquois.
Refusing to believe that his headstrong maiden is dead, Remy
begins a search for her, knowing that he can never give up his
quest to find the girl who stole his heart.
