A darkly comedic frontier horror film that blends visceral gore with absurdist humor while exploring themes of madness, survival, and the corrupting nature of violence in the American wilderness.

After arriving at his new, remote Army outpost, Capt. John Boyd and his regiment aid a wounded frontiersman who recounts a horrifying tale of a wagon train murdered by its supposed guide – a vicious U.S. Army colonel gone rogue. Fearing the worst, the regiment heads out into the wilderness to verify the gruesome claims.
