Sam Elliot and Katharine Ross star in a sweeping, epic Western based on a novel by Louis L'Amour. Evie Teale (Ross) travels with her husband and children to the remote, isolated West to homestead a ranch, but her husband soon dies in an accident far from home, leaving Evie and the children to fend for themselves far from civilization--not knowing if her husband is dead or alive. Gradually, her life intertwines with a cowboy named Conagher (Elliot), whose growing affection for Evie clashes with his need to travel the wide-open spaces.
