When a coach crosses hostile country, its passengers must survive both the journey and each other.

Longer logline

When a coach sets out across Apache territory carrying a prostitute run out of town, a drunk doctor, an officer’s pregnant wife and a whiskey drummer, in a world where the escort turns back at the halfway station and the road ahead is open ground, the escaped convict who joins them must get everyone through, before the man who murdered his family is waiting at the other end.
