With truth, honor, music, and a little comic relief. The show has synchronous time periods jumping from 1906 to 1846 and back again. "Something Inside is Broken" is a love story between 'Iine (EEN-AY) and Maj Kyle (MY-COOL-AY) of the Nisenan Tribe. 'Iine's father Symyk'aj (Soo-ma-ki) is the Chief of the Auburn band of Nisenan. He has trade and work agreements with Johann Sutter, but Sutter's slave hunters don't always follow those agreements . Now they have taken five young woman from Symyk'aj's village, including Maj Kyle. Sutter's fort is the gateway to the West and the rendezvous point of Captain Fremont, Kit Carson and the American soldiers. Symyk'aj is realizing his inability, and Sutter's inability, to protect his people from this new wave of immigrants. 'Iine, in turn, volunteers to work at Sutter's fort. Soon there after, 'Iine incites a riot and rescues Maj Kyle, which has a tragic ending for both characters. The Satirical comic relief comes with short segments of 'Frontier Idol' hosted by the first 'Governator' of California, Peter Hardyman Burnett, who is the master of ceremonies of this 1846 style reality show where slave hunters and slave girls are pitted against one another.
