In 1845, early in the Great Western Migration, three families hire a mountain-savvy man named Steven Meekto guide a group of immigrants in an attempt to climb the mountain and find a new home. Mick, claiming he knew a shortcut, led the group into a remote trail in a vast desert, where they were unfortunately lost and trapped. As the days passed, the immigrants faced hunger, water shortages, and distrust of each other out of their survival instinct. This group of distrustful people grows more agitated as a patrol of natives crosses their path, confronted with a guide who has proven to be untrustworthy, and some that seem more dangerous people, who should they trust, and how should they choose.

Stephen Meek: Well, I know women are different from men. I know that much. Well, I'll tell you the difference if you care to hear.
Emily Tetherow: I don't doubt you will.
