A Quiet Place and The Devil Wears Prada star Blunt features in the period western from writer Hugo Blick (The Honourable Woman, Black Earth Rising) alongside Twilight's Chaske Spencer.

Blunt plays aristocratic Englishwoman Lady Cornelia Locke, who joins forces with Pawnee ex-cavalry scout Eli Whipp (Chaske Spencer) to cross the violent landscape of 1890s America together.

Cornelia is in search of what happened to her son, but with a series of hostile and untrustworthy land grabbers and officials confronting them on their journey, she must learn fast to protect herself.

As they get to know each other, they form a close bond and a strong attraction that is challenged by those around them and the racist attitudes they encounter.

Other cast includes Rafe Spall (The Salisbury Poisonings), Tom Hughes (A Discovery Of Witches), Toby Jones (Marvellous) and Ciarán Hinds (The Terror).
