A morally complex post-Civil War western about a detective pursuing war criminals across a lawless frontier, shadowed by violence and the weight of historical reckoning.

Detective Matthias Breecher, hired to track down the worst of the Confederate war criminals, roams the Old West seeking justice. His resolve is tested when he meets a determined pioneer woman who is far more than she seems.
