Racist, sexist, in pursuit of his own Manifest Destiny, the poor orphaned Bartleby steals another man's name and travels west in search of a woman he's never met, to claim land he doesn't own, to acquire a success he doesn't deserve. There he discovers danger, opportunity and the darkness of his own heart. Encountering immigrants, slaves, Indians, settlers and others, he finds himself in the company of corrupt, greedy, successful men, and one mysterious fur trader. There in the 19th century frontier, he is forced to confront his demons and embark on a journey of redemption to save his child and his soul.
