Spoilers ahead

Set in the late 19th century American frontier, the story unfolds across two bitterly contrasting landscapes: the rough edges of Big Whiskey, Wyoming, and the dustier plains of Hodgeman County, Kansas. It opens with a brutal act of violence that leaves a young prostitute named Delilah Fitzgerald scarred for life when a cowboy named Quick Mike slashes her face with a knife. The town’s sheriff, known as Little Bill Daggett, responds with a heavy hand, demanding vengeance by punishing Mike and his accomplice, Davey Bunting, by forcing them to surrender some of their ponies to Delilah’s employer Skinny DuBois.
