In the year 1882, the American frontier in Old Stump, Arizona, is a tough place to live where food scarcity and rampant disease create a harsh existence.

Among the residents is Albert Stark (Seth MacFarlane), a timid sheep farmer who faces the heart-wrenching end of his relationship with his girlfriend, Louise (Amanda Seyfried), after he chooses to avoid a duel with the aggressive Charlie. Instead of engaging in violence, Albert tries to find a peaceful resolution, which costs him both love and respect.
