In 1883, US Cavalry lieutenant Matthew Hazard, newly graduated from West Point, is assigned to isolated Fort Delivery on the Mexican border of Arizona, where he meets commanding officer Teddy Mainwarring's wife Kitty, whom he later rescues from an Indian attack.
This period drama swaps typical frontier gunfights for a slow-burning, psychological tension centered on forbidden longing. The isolation of the Arizona border transforms a standard cavalry assignment into a claustrophobic study of duty and desire.
