When three women living on the edge of the American frontier are driven mad by harsh pioneer life, the task of saving them falls to the pious, independent-minded Mary Bee Cuddy (Hilary Swank). Having volunteered to transport the women by covered wagon to Iowa, she soon realizes just how daunting the journey will be. When she stumbles across reprobate claim-jumper George Briggs (Tommy Lee Jones) hanging from a noose, Mary Bee saves his life but only in exchange for his assistance in escorting the three troubled women.

The unlikely pair and the three women (Grace Gummer, Miranda Otto, Sonja Richter) head east, where a waiting minister and his wife have offered to take the women in. But the group first must traverse the harsh Nebraska Territories on a long and difficult journey marked by stark beauty, psychological peril and constant threat.
