Guy Pearce is Capt. John Boyd, a disgraced officer reassigned to a remote Army fort in California’s Sierra Nevada in the 1840s. When a wounded frontiersman (Robert Carlyle) arrives with a story about a wagon train butchered by the man meant to lead it to safety, Boyd and the small garrison head into the mountains to look for survivors and verify the claim. What starts as a rescue mission turns into a fight to stay alive, as snow, hunger, and suspicion close in around the isolated outpost and the men begin to grasp what may be waiting for them in the wilderness.
