Actors: Tom Selleck, Suzy Amis, Rachel Duncan
PlotIn the post-Civil War American Southwest, a former Confederate soldier returns home to find his property seized by Union sympathizers. Determined to reclaim his land and protect his family, he attempts to reintegrate into a society still reeling from the war's aftermath. His initial intention for peace is challenged by hostility and aggression from those who resist his return. Confronted with escalating tension, he must navigate a landscape scarred by division. The struggle to settle back into a once peaceful life becomes increasingly difficult as opportunists seek to exploit the chaos of the reconstruction era.
As the threat becomes personal, he is forced to ally with unlikely friends while contending with the ghosts of his past. Resolute in securing a future for his family, he confronts outside forces intent on taking what little he has left. With tensions rising and threats lurking closer, he faces a moral battleground where choices must be made about honor, survival, and what it truly means to stand one's ground. Even as danger looms, the powerful bonds of family push him toward confronting not only external adversaries but also the inner turmoil that the war has left behind. Balancing these precarious relationships becomes a test of loyalty and perseverance amidst a rapidly changing world.
