This tale of friendship and survival set during the 1860's focuses on a roguish group of runaways living by their wits and natural instinct. Two of them in particular are complimentary opposites: Drew is a good boy from God-fearing stock in Ohio, out West to evade the draft, and Jake is a scruffy scoundrel - a saddle tramp not above a little larceny here and there. Along the trail they encounter a variety of varmints and renegades. And eventually, they find themselves older and wiser for the journey and for their friendship.
