- Synopsis
- Oregon, 1933. Honest family-man Samuel Murphy (Hawke) faces a personal crisis when his wife dies in a tragic accident. Now the sole guardian of his daughter, Murphy’s stoicism buoys him during hard times—until he is arrested and sent to a work camp while his daughter is sent to an orphanage. Desperate to be with her again, Murphy becomes instant prey for warden of the camp, Clancy (Crowe), who gives Samuel a job to smuggle gold out of a mine with a ragtag crew of prisoners and guards.
  
  As the group sets out, the prisoners soon realize that the biggest threat isn’t thieves and the precarious wilderness ahead of them, but treachery from within their ranks. Betrayal spreads like wildfire— and no one is to be trusted. With threats closing in from all sides, how far will Murphy go to be reunited with his daughter?
