Former Texas Rangers Augustus McCrae and Woodrow Call run the Hat Creek cattle company near the Rio Grande. Call decides to drive a large herd north to Montana, and the outfit gathers cowboys, former Rangers and the young Newt for a journey across the plains.
The drive is shaped by storms, river crossings, Indigenous resistance, outlaws and the return of Blue Duck. Gus’s attachment to Clara Allen and Call’s refusal to acknowledge Newt deepen a story in which endurance and loyalty are repeatedly tested by avoidable pride and sudden loss.
