When Silas Van Loy flees home on horseback to avoid capture for his brothers murder he is soon followed by both the police and his brothers wife Lena who is intent on exacting revenge. She reluctantly lets her trusted stable assistant join her in a journey across the wilds of Northern California in the hope of catching Silas for one final showdown. The story follows the chase and shares the story of the brothers rise from hardscrabble childhood to their reign as the regions preeminent horse trainers tracking the tense sibling rivalry that ultimately led to the elders death.
