Set in the 18th Century, Alta California tells the story of Paco Palido, a young man, half-indigenous half-Spanish, caught between two worlds. As a mission soldier employed by Padre Junipero Serro, Paco is privy to the confrontation between the army, led by Captain Felipe de Neve, and the church, each believing in their vision for the future of California Indians following Spain's imminent loss of Alta California. Already conflicted, a personal crisis stirs within Paco's soul after a confrontation with the Chumas Indians of Santa Barbara. It is from this moment on that two young women come to occupy Paco's mind: one woman is a submissive, domesticated baptized Indian; and the other woman is, Ifapi, a "wild" Chumash Indian and member of a warring tribe steadfastly refusing Christianization. Meeting Ifapi and her tribe creates the ultimate spiritual crisis for Paco Palido. His life will never be the same again.
