A marvel of engineering, the stagecoach becomes indispensable when Americans settle the West. As stagecoaches and their drivers navigate perilous trails to transport passengers and valuables, they are easy targets for lawless bandits.

This beautifully understated Western is the story of a son raised by two fathers, one from the European East and one from the American West. On the cusp of the 20th century, somewhere on the American frontier, Igor, an immigrant and recent widower, struggles to raise his two-year-old son Ivo on his own. When his American friend and mentor Duncan decides to move his horse-breeding business and young family to California, Igor and Ivo join the wagon train headed West.
