When Johnny Redfeather, an Irish/Cheyenne Civil War veteran, and Union Colonel William Swanson escaped from Lawton Prison in Georgia in late 1864, Redfeather killed a young guard named Hank Bulger. Vowing revenge for his brother's death, Jake Bulger pursues Redfeather and Swanson to Green River in 1867. After learning that Bulger has killed Swanson, Redfeather and an orphan named Amanda retreat to his cabin high up on Raven Mountain. There, in a desperate attempt to protect everything he cherishes, while trying to preserve his own Native American heritage, Redfeather begs his gods and the mountain itself to protect them.
