One morning in 1868, Sam Nolan decides to hang himself. The depression and grief of living alone after his wife and unborn child pass away is far too much for him to stand any longer.
Life alone causes Nolan to slowly go insane, forgetting the face of his dead wife. However, before Nolan has a chance to die, a woman, chased by a relentless bounty hunter, breaks into his farmhouse looking for shelter.
Confusion sets in, and Nolan believes the dying woman to be his lost wife. He now has something to live for…something to fight for.
