Western
Jake Paynter is a doomed man. Haunted by an abusive
childhood and his participation in atrocities of the Civil
War, he seeks the isolation of the Plains Cavalry as a white
officer for an all-Black buffalo soldier troop. Now, he is
in irons and certain to be hanged for killing his captain
after refusing an inhumane order. Despite his best efforts
to maintain isolation, he starts to make friends on his
journey to trial. The people of the wagon train begin
looking to Paynter for leadership, and he reluctantly falls
into the role.
The opportunity to escape arises when the wagon train is
attacked by bandits, but Paynter's growing ties to the
travelers compel him to stay. As his trial approaches,
Paynter must lean on his friends for salvation, but the laws
of the west are swift and harsh, and a grueling
confrontation with his past is on the horizon.
