A somber Western about redemption and reconciliation set against the brutality of colonial violence, following a prejudiced soldier's forced journey toward understanding.

A legendary Native American-hating Army captain nearing retirement in 1892 is given one last assignment: to escort a Cheyenne chief and his family through dangerous territory back to his Montana reservation.
