A Western Tale

In the wake of her husband Caleb’s (Jeremy Sumpter) murder, Katherine Atherton (Rumer Willis) vows to bring down the ruthless Colonel Davis (Jeff Fahey), whose corruption poisons the West in 1875. Her path converges with John Scobell (Gbenga Akinnagbe), a true historical figure and former Pinkerton agent whose troubled past fuels his resolve to help her. Their alliance challenges the era’s deep-seated prejudices, forging a bond through shared grief and determination. From high-stakes pursuits to deadly showdowns, their quest is a relentless fight for survival. Trail of Vengeance captures the raw grit of the Old West, where every step toward justice is a triumph of the human spirit.

A Return to Traditional Story Telling

Team CLN and I are proud to support Skipstone Pictures, the people behind the film, who believe in the power of narrative to shape American character and community. Rooted in family values, they tell stories that remind us all to “Cowboy Up!” Teaching a new generation to meet hardship with resolve and triumph with humility. This film is a testament to those ideals, a saga of grit and grace that calls us all to stand tall against the odds.
