    • 1883. Canada is 16 years old.

      The North West Mounted Police has been established to control the illegal American Whisky Trade.

      The rail line that will connect the nation is near completion, being built by an army of Chinese labourers.

      The Winchester lever action repeating rifle is the machine gun of the day.

      British Columbia is the wild west.

      At a lone outpost in the Canadian wilderness, a Mountie takes custody of a Chinese prisoner wanted by both a deadly lynch mob and a gang of thieves.

      Defiant to demands for blood and revenge, the Mountie draws a hard line in the sand where lawlessness may not tread.

      But as the rule of law crumbles under the weight of a dozen murderous men closing in from all sides, an unlikely partnership is struck between lawman and prisoner, who must fight side by side to ensure their survival in a violent story of penance and redemption that illustrates what it takes to make a country, and the price men have paid to be free.
