A sweeping historical epic about the transcontinental railroad's construction, driven by ambition and tragedy, with a son's quest for vengeance and redemption at its core.

Brandon, a surveyor, dreams of building a railway to the west. He sets off with his son, Davy, to survey a route.

One of them, a white renegade with only two fingers on his right hand, kills Brandon and scalps him. Davy is all alone now.
