After the devastation of the Sand Creek massacre, River, who has been advocating peace with the settlers, becomes increasingly challenged by others, who are pushing for war. Will River continue to follow the peaceful chiefs of his tribe? Or will there be a breaking point, in which he fall into the warring ways of his youth that earned him his name?
