In 1869, a family leaves Salt Lake City on an arduous journey to establish a new outpost of their church. They cart all their belongings, leaving safety behind. The terrain is rough and unforgiving. When an encounter with dangerous men turns violent, their attempt to flee proves futile. Left with no other choice, they must prepare to defend themselves from an expected attack. Their pursuers hold the advantage because a party of mostly women and children are no match for outlaws in the wild country… unless they are.

When five sisters return to their home in Sicily to divide up the family art and antiques, all hell breaks loose.
