It is less than a year before the bloodiest chapter in American History, the Civil War, commences in earnest. A Blackfoot Indian rides the prairie, looking for revenge on the society which has stolen his son from him. He is about to cross paths with a beautiful young woman whose disappearance will send ripples through the Western Frontier, conscripting mercenaries and mutineers into the hunt to bring the Indian to justice and the girl to safety. But nothing is easy in the Kansas-Nebraska territory and anyone brave or foolhardy enough to try their hand must first suffer the brutality of man and beast, which only grows in intensity the further west that a seeker might travel.
