What Is The Far Country About?

The premise of The Far Country without spoilers.

During the Klondige Gold Rush, misanthropic cattle driver Ben and his talkative, elderly partner Rube clash with the law in Alaska. To avoid jail they agree to work for a saloon owner, delivering her supplies to a newly booming, law‑less Canadian town. There they meet innocent yet untamed Renee, confront the relentless Gannon, who represents the law and the noose, and navigate a world of gamblers, losers, and fear.
