Two cowboys—one old, the other young—set off to seek their fortune driving a herd of horses across the West. Before long, they find themselves risking everything to save five kidnapped Chinese girls from a life of prostitution. Thus begins an epic and perilous journey that changes forever the fates of these young girls, their unlikely guardians, and the other characters they meet along the way.
