About

Life changes dramatically for a young widow when she takes in a gravely injured gunslinger seeking refuge. As she nurses him back to health, their growing connection places her at odds with members of her conservative community. Faced with prejudice, loss, and outside threats, she must decide whether to follow tradition or trust her own heart.

Tim Daly brings quiet strength to the role of the wounded stranger, while Naomi Watts delivers an emotional performance as the widow torn between duty and desire. With additional support from Keith Carradine and David Carradine, the film combines romance, frontier hardship, and personal courage.
