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.
