Sam Plunkett is fourteen years old when he leaves St. Louis for the last time in 1833 and goes to live in the Rocky Mountains as a fur trapper and marry a Cheyenne woman. His life, from that year till his death in 1906, is a story of a man with his heart among Native American people facing conquest by the American nation. As a renegade, he is caught in between. This is a true story of the American West, in which race, tribe, language, and intentions can either gain a man allies or get him killed in a matter of seconds. Among these beautiful mountains and prairies, when death can ambush in an instant, Sam Plunkett must find a life and find the truth about race, about love, and about how life should be lived.
