Synopsis/Details

Grand Winner – The Wild Bunch Film Festival

Two women and their children arrive in Clearmont, Wyoming, preparing for a treacherous wagon journey to California. U.S. Marshal John Bishop warns them of the perils ahead—harsh terrain, hostile Sioux, and the ruthless outlaw Joe Garrett.

Determined to press on, the women accept Bishop’s protection. Alongside him: Sheriff Ed Mitchell, his spirited wife Etta, and Doc Harrington, the town’s sharpshooting physician. Together, they face relentless attacks, first from Sioux warriors—then from Garrett’s cutthroat gang, who want everything the wagon party has… including the women.

When a child is kidnapped, Bishop leads a desperate rescue through enemy territory. Outgunned and outnumbered, survival rests on one thing: how far they’re willing to go to break trail.
