SYNOPSIS:

An action-filled adventure set on the American frontier, the script combines the excitement of a classic Western with the moving story of a little-known part of history. The story follows the life of James an irrepressible spirit born into slavery who learns to fight from his boxer father, a man who sacrifices himself for his son's escape. James parlays his fighting skills into an Army career as one of the original Buffalo Soldiers. Racism and injustice follow his unit, and James is forced to choose between duty and justice when he crosses a gang of well-connected outlaws who operate a fighting organization. The script combines the moving historical drama of GLORY with the smart Western style of TOMBSTONE and the sweeping breadth of FAR AND AWAY. It abounds with rich roles, and its audacious approach to history could give it great potential as an awards contender.
