When

a

group

of

travelers

is

stranded

on

a

stagecoach

in

the

middle

of

Apache

territory,

they

find

themselves

at

the

mercy

of

John

Russell,

a

white

man

raised

by

the

Apache.

But

as

tensions

rise

and

danger

closes

in,

it

becomes

clear

that

the

greatest

threat

may

not

be

the

Apache

or

the

harsh

wilderness,

but

the

prejudices

and

mistrust

of

those

aboard

the

stagecoach.

As

John

struggles

to

navigate

his

own

identity

and

the

expectations

of

those

around

him,

he

must

decide

where

his

loyalty

truly

lies...

John

Russell

is

portrayed

as

a

man

who

is

emotionally

distant

and

reserved.

This

is

due

in

part

to

his

upbringing,

as

he

was

raised

by

the

Apaches

and

has

a

different

perspective

on

the

world

than

most

white

people.

He

is

also

a

man

who

has

experienced

a

great

deal

of

loss

and

trauma

in

his

life,

which

may

have

contributed

to

his

emotional

detachment.
