'By nightfall, young Daniel, you ain't gonna be no En'lish lad no more. You'lI be a one-hun'red-per-cent, dyed-in-th'-wool Texas cowhand.'
Lost and alone, twelve-year-old Daniel rides out of the Texas brush and finds himself at Dark Creek ranch. The owner, Matt, takes him in but with the Civil War raging Matt soon leaves to join the Confederate troops. Accompanied by Matt's daughter, Trinity, and cowhands No-Head Nolan and Beto, Daniel is left to drive the fifty head of cattle 680 miles along the trail to Kansas. But murderous hide rustlers, dangerous card sharps and a ruthless band of outlaws lie between them and their destination. This is the story of their incredible journey.
