The Civil War has been over for two years. As ever, yet another wagon train in Independence, Missouri, is heading out to California with hopes of finding a better life-but this group of travelers is different. Made up of widows and their children, all this wagon train has for help is an old Christian wagon master with a drinking problem and his two old, grizzled freighters. As they face the perils of the Oregon Trail-Indian territory, loners, and roughnecks-the greatest danger may come from others who see an opportunity to make a lot of money from a defenseless wagon train. They already made it this far, but now they realize that out there, it's every man for himself. Unless you don't have any.
