The Barfield family, Arkansas sharecroppers, are heading
west with their sons Jeffrey and Todd. In far West Texas
their camp is attacked by Comanche raiders and the elder
Barfields are killed and scalped. The younger boy, Todd, is
taken captive by the Indians. The older son, Jeffrey,
manages to hide and is rescued by the militia men. Jeffrey
is taken in by a home-steading family, while Todd is sold,
for a rifle and gunpowder, to a Comanchero trader named
January.
Both become caught up in the turbulence of the Civil War,
which even in remote West Texas, the border country with New
Mexico, pits Confederate sympathizers against Unionists. The
brothers, separated by violence, are destined to be rejoined
by violence. Will they meet as friends or deadly enemies?
