In the 1850s, Thomas McNulty, a young Irish immigrant who fled the Great Famine, enlists in the U.S. Army. Alongside his brother in arms, John Cole, he fights in the Indian Wars against the Sioux and the Yurok, and ultimately in the Civil War. Orphans of terrible hardships, they find these days vivid and alive, despite the horrors they see and are complicit in. This is a poignant story of two men and the makeshift family they create with a young Sioux girl, Winona.
