He was left for dead. He would not forget.

WesternAdventureDrama

In the early 1800s, a group of fur trappers and Indian traders are returning with their goods to civilization and are making a desperate attempt to beat the oncoming winter. When guide Zachary Bass is injured in a bear attack, they decide he's a goner and leave him behind to die. When he recovers instead, he swears revenge on them and tracks them and their paranoiac expedition leader down.

VIBE

A grueling, unflinching testament to human endurance. This film feels like a raw, primal scream against the unforgiving wilderness, where every breath is a struggle and vengeance is the only fuel. It's a test of will, both for the character and the viewer.
