A tale of triumph and tragedy told of the Nez Perce War of 1877. While eastern headlines screamed of red men run amok and stalwart generals in close pursuit, the common man often had his doubts that the Indians were in the wrong. This is the story of several such men: Jon Beck, Civil War veteran and army scout, given the job of tracking down an enemy he knows and respects, and yet must kill if he can; Elijah Hardy, married into one tribe while tasked with destroying another; Lieutenant Morgan, who came west with a passion in his soul to take vengeance on every Indian he could line up in his sights; and Simon Pocket, Texas cowboy, desperate for a new direction, but finding one that leads him into a chaos of destruction. All of them caught up in the whirlwind of an Indian war that twists each man onto new paths, bringing light to some, and utter darkness to one.
