Spoilers ahead
Twenty years have passed since the enigmatic disappearance of the legendary outlaw in 1908, and the aging figure returns only to Bolivian soil after living under the alias James Blackthorn in a quiet village. In a quiet moment of news, he learns of Etta Place’s death and decides, with a measured resolve, to set a course back toward the United States. He writes to their son, Ryan, plainly stating his intention to come home, while the rhythms of a solitary life—horses to tend, miles to walk, and a fragile sense of belonging—pull him toward a final reckoning. Before he departs, he confides in his longtime companion, Yana, that a last farewell awaits him, and that he will see her again before he leaves Bolivia.
