Set in the 1880s, this is the story of a cattle drive from the Rio Grande to the highlands of Montana. Augustus McCrae and W. F. Call are former Texas Rangers, retired and becalmed after long years of putting down the Comanches. Gus is the romantic - a reluctant ranger who fills his days with whisky and the sound of his own voice reminiscing about the old days. Call is devoted to hard work and silence - driven, demanding and obsessed with the dream of creating his own empire.
