Spoilers ahead
In Serendipity, Colorado, on the eve of the 1908 presidential election, Sam Longwood, a weathered frontiersman whose best days are behind him, finally locates his former business partner, Jack Colby. Colby vanished with all the gold from a mine they prospected and, even more heartbreakingly, with the woman Sam loves, Nancy Sue.
Sam, alongside his two partners—Joe Knox, an Indian companion, and Billy—meets a young prostitute nicknamed Thursday who joins their uneasy expedition. The trio’s plan to secure money leads them to kidnap Nancy Sue, hoping for a ransom, but Colby has no desire to reclaim her. After Sam and Thursday share a night together, he finds himself drawn to her, while Thursday grows fond of him in return.
