A regiment of forgotten men... a woman no man could forget!

Western

Captain Maddocks will never be promoted beyond Captain because of a mistake that he made in the past. Lt. McQuade is a green rookie who is now under the command of the tough Captain and he does not seem to be able to do anything right. Lt. McQuade also has trouble with Tracey, but it will be the renegade Indians that will test him and teach him the importance of following orders.

VIBE

A dusty, sun-baked tale of military life on the frontier. It's a stoic, tense watch about duty, survival, and the harsh realities faced by soldiers and Native Americans alike. Expect a steady, deliberate pace that builds to explosive confrontations.
