Plot
When Farrah Fawcett's Dalva, who is part Sioux Indian, was a teenager, she falls in love with Duane, becomes pregnant and later learns that he is also her half-brother. Her grand-father forces her to give the baby up for adoption. Fifteen years later,[1] Dalva finds Duane, he tells her that he is dying and he rides into the sea in the sunset and shoots himself. Dalva later finds love with a friend of her father's, named Sam (Powers Boothe) who encourages her to find her son. She finds him and the show ends in the arms of her true love Sam.[2]
