A Native American, who also happens to be half-white, gets into a fatal altercation with a racist sheriff in a saloon situated in the Old West. Following this incident, he escapes into the desert, leaving the small town in turmoil. A posse is quickly formed by a ruthless former Confederate officer, determined to bring him to justice for the perceived crime. This posse consists of various men, each bringing their own prejudices and motives for joining the hunt, but they are united by a common goal: capturing or killing the fugitive.

As they venture deeper into the harsh wilderness, the dynamics within the group start to fray due to mounting tensions and the relentless environment. Their target, skilled in survival and well-versed in guerrilla tactics, methodically leads them into ever more perilous situations. Along the way, their weaknesses and deeply ingrained biases are exposed, testing their resolve and revealing the true nature of justice and vengeance they each harbor. The manhunt transforms into a psychological battle, where each member of the posse must confront both external dangers and their own inner demons.
