The War Between the States has just ended. A ruthless Confederate officer, hunted by the Yankees, stops at a desolate ranch where he encounters a solitary woman, a surviving victim of the war. With her life hanging in the balance, she is faced with ugly choices and even uglier consequences. She slowly realizes his dual nature and his own internal struggles with whom he has become as a result of the war. In his search for redemption, they maintain a precarious grip on survival and must battle the elements, Yankees, bounty hunters, horse thieves, and each other, and try to make sense out of the increasingly senseless and ironic consequences of war.
