Synopsis
When broken-hearted Honore Greenwood leave New Orleans - and the woman he loves - to build a fort right in the heart of Comanche country, he knows he has volunteered for a most dangerous project. With the Mexican War and the California Gold Rush brining chaos across the plains, Honore will have to work hard to earn the trust of the proud, powerful, and unpredictable Comanche people. But the vile whisky trader Bill Snakehead Jackson is happy corrupting and breeding violence between the Comanches and their ancient enemies, the Apaches. And when Honoe's old love cries desperately for help, Honore will risk it all for the woman he loves.
