In the early 1900s Wild West, Willie Boy and Carlota, a young woman from the Chemehuevi tribe, fall in love despite being forbidden to be together. When a confrontation with Carlota’s father ends in a fatal accidental shooting, the couple flees the only home they know. With President Taft expected in the area, the local sheriff sets out after them, joined by two Native American trackers seeking justice for their tribal leader.
