A melancholic Western about an aging outlaw's longing for home, balancing adventure and regret against a backdrop of pursuit and betrayal.

In Bolivia, Butch Cassidy (now calling himself James Blackthorn) pines for one last sight of home, an adventure that aligns him with a young robber and makes the duo a target for gangs and lawmen alike.
