A sprawling historical western epic that grapples with manifest destiny and westward expansion through multiple narratives, marked by moral ambiguity and a dreary, often critical tone toward its subject matter.

In 1859, families discover the lure of the Old West as they settle in territories from Wyoming to Kansas. Meanwhile, a gruff cowboy finds himself on the run with a prostitute and a young boy after killing a fellow gunman.
