Minnesota, 1915: the ageing, murderous outlaw, Glendon Hale, meets the one-time successful author, Monte Becket. Glendon has spent years in obscurity, but the guilt he harbours for abandoning his wife, over two decades ago, has finally lured him from hiding. He aims to travel back to his past and gain her forgiveness. Sensing Monte’s lack of purpose, he takes him along for the adventure. They are met by much more than they imagined on their journey.
