Western

When her husband dies en route to America, Martha Price and her daughter Hilary are left to carry out his dream: the introduction of Hereford cattle into the American West. They enlist Sam "Bulldog" Burnett in their efforts to transport their lone bull, a Hereford named Vindicator, to a breeder in Texas, but the trail is fraught with danger and even Burnett doubts the survival potential of this "rare breed" of cattle.

VIBE

A determined woman's quiet grit on the unforgiving frontier. It's a tale of perseverance, the bond with a prized animal, and the slow, steady push towards a dream against all odds.
