The film is set after the end of the American Civil War. Gideon is hiding in the American Rockies, contemplating a fire. A shot pierces the silence and hits Gideon who, convulsing in pain, quickly runs away, followed by his pursuers. Soon the audience learns why: Gideon is a hunted man. Colonel Morsman Carver, a Confederate officer, has hired several mountain men to trap Gideon so that Carver can avenge a terrible wrong committed against him.
From the snowy peaks, the story descends into the savannas - full of rapacious traders, vicious railway foremen and overly-welcoming missionaries - and moves finally into the desert, where the two men challenge each other in the face of Mother Nature at her harshest, with surreal visitations to guide them to their final confrontation.
