Trail's End

The Old West. A bloody, botched bank robbery leaves Tom, Logan and the other survivors of Marlon Lee’s gang running for their lives from legendary bounty hunter Cross. Desperate to escape Cross, they cut far north into remote, snowbound territory and team up with the survivors of a wagon train attacked by an Indian war party. Tom’s Comanche friend warns them not to. He tells them the area is known to Indians as the home of a fierce, but little seen tribe, that hunt everything at this time of year, including men. The group push on north regardless, more afraid of Cross than of Billy’s superstitions. The weather worsens and the wagon train is attacked that night by an unseen tribe. A victim is snatched away into the night. The next day Tom drives a makeshift cross into the snow to mark the dead and the group journey on, hoping to escape the tribe’s hunting grounds before nightfall. Tom and the others prepare to defend the camp that night, but they are ambushed during a snowstorm. Tom and Marlon witness one of their group being killed, but manage to escape; claiming the figure they saw was more beast than man. The next day Cross rides towards what’s left of the wagon train under a white flag. He suggests a temporary truce against the tribe. Tom and Marlon reluctantly agree and Cross leads them to a cavalry outpost in a nearby forest. But the fort is abandoned and bears the bloody marks of a terrible battle. Cross finds the commanding officer’s diary and reads of how the soldiers tried to repel a terrible tribe of creatures that hunt at night. As night falls, Tom, Cross and the other survivors prepare to make a last stand.
