The story
Northern New Mexico, in the years after World War II. Jude and Billy James, raised poor and treated as outsiders, have only ever been able to rely on each other. When Billy is sentenced to hang after a fatal confrontation, Jude breaks him out. The brothers head across the country, pursued by the law and the Pinkerton Agency. Their loyalty, their past and their will to survive are all put to the test.
