Un escritor emprende la búsqueda de su hermano, de quien no ha tenido noticias durante varios años. Comenzando en Gaspé, Quebec, su viaje lo llevará a San Francisco, no sin desviarse por el corazón de Estados Unidos, el de las grandes ciudades —Detroit, Chicago—, lugares cargados de historia —Wounded Knee, Ash Hollow, Starved Rock— y pueblos perdidos. Al comienzo del viaje, Jack conoce a una joven mestiza apodada cariñosamente «la Gran Saltamontes» por su figura alta y delgada. En su compañía, emprende un verdadero viaje de regreso desde sus raíces francocanadienses en el continente americano, mientras la joven intenta definir los contornos de una frágil identidad nativa americana. 10
