Billy Parham, un cowboy aflat la varsta adolescentei, prinde in capcana o lupoaica, dupa ce aceasta atacase vitele de la ferma familiei sale. Dar, in loc sa o omoare, hotaraste sa o duca inapoi in tinuturile de unde venise, strabatand intinderile nesfarsite de prerie si muntii aflati la granita cu Mexicul. Calatoria lor curajoasa, prin locuri inspaimantator de pustii, insa atat de frumoase, ajunge in impas din clipa in care dau peste oameni. Baiatul devine martor al unor intamplari la limita dintre basm si cosmar, intr-o lume marcata de atata cruzime si violenta, incat nu pare a fi guvernata decat de legea implacabila a mortii.
