It's about Lieutenant Parker, a young soldier, and Carl, a skilled guide, who team up to hunt for food for their fort, which is running low. They journey into the mountains, where they face dangers like tough landscapes and the possibility of trouble with Native Americans, especially with the looming threat of an uprising.
