A ruthless cowboy, forsaken by the town that he helped to build, puts his grievances to one side when a band of outlaws, which is being chased across Wyoming’s snow-covered landscape by the cavalry, arrive in town, putting everyone’s life at risk, in De Toth’s tense, authentic-feeling, and thoroughly unpredictable western.
