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.
