To save his family from disgrace, Capt. James Wynnegate takes the blame when his brother, Sir Henry, embezzles from a charitable fund.

After the birth of the couple's son, James is startled by the arrival of Lady Diana, his brother's wife, who informs him that the nefarious Henry is dead.

VIBE

A sweeping, dramatic tale of a man seeking refuge and forging an unlikely life far from home. It's a quiet, earnest epic exploring love and identity against a vast, untamed landscape, told with the earnestness of early cinema.
