“Only the fierce Modocs knew the terrible meaning of each beat of the Drum !”
President Grant orders Indian fighter MacKay to negotiate with the Modocs of northern California and southern Oregon. On the way he must escort Nancy Meek to the home of her aunt and uncle. After Modoc renegade Captain Jack engages in ambush and other atrocities, MacKay must fight him one-on-one with guns, knives and fists.
A sweeping, earnest Western epic that feels both grand and intimate. It captures the harsh beauty of the frontier and the weight of duty, with a palpable sense of historical consequence and personal stakes.
