A meditative buddy film about two outsiders forming a quiet bond through a small, doomed scheme in the frontier West, exploring ambition and belonging.

In the 1820s, a taciturn loner and skilled cook travels west to Oregon Territory, where he meets a Chinese immigrant also seeking his fortune. Soon the two team up on a dangerous scheme to steal milk from the wealthy landowner’s prized Jersey cow—the first, and only, in the territory.
