Sam Worthington, Hailee Steinfeld, Brit Marling, Muna OtaruDer US-amerikanische Bürgerkrieg zwischen Nord- und Südstaaten nähert sich im Jahr 1865 zwar seinem unausweichlichen Ende. Doch auch in den letzten Tagen des blutigen Konflikts regieren Gewalt und Tod: Für die willensstarke Augusta, die zusammen mit ihrer Schwester Louise und Sklavin Mad auf einem abgelegenen Anwesen auf das Kriegsende wartet, werden die letzten Tage des Kriegs zum Überlebenskampf: Zwei Deserteure der herannahenden Unions-Armee haben es auf die wehrlosen Frauen abgesehen...
In this radically reimagined American Western set towards the end of the Civil War, Southerner Augusta encounters two renegade, drunken soldiers who are on a mission of pillage and violence. After escaping an attempted assault, Augusta races back to the isolated farmhouse that she shares with her sister Louise and their female slave Mad. When the pair of soldiers track Augusta down intent on exacting revenge, the trio of women are forced to take up arms to fend off their assailants, finding ways to resourcefully defend their home––and themselves––as the escalating attacks become more unpredictable and relentless.
