白雪纷飞的某个小镇，女警察海泽尔（苏珊·萨兰登 Susan Sarandon 饰）按照长官指示前往一位相熟的的老人家探望，谁知却发现老人被残忍割喉，死状凄惨。然而这仅仅是一个开始，两天后另一名农场主死在自家马厩，他的胃更被摘除后丢弃在荒野，任野狗蚕食。虽然两起案件距离颇远，且没有什么共同之处，但海泽尔坚信这是同一人所为。根据一系列针对老年人的谋杀案死者照片比对，海泽尔和同事发现他们的嘴被凶手刻意弄出了正在讲述什么的样子。经人介绍，海泽尔找到精通拉丁语的普莱斯神父（唐纳德·萨瑟兰 Donald Sutherland 饰），进而得知这一系列案件和天主教被禁止的祷词有关，其中语言会有12名信徒牺牲自己以换取某人的复活。

This powerful western starring Peter Facinelli (Twilight franchise) shows what happens when you push a good man too far. Britt MacMasters, a U.S. Marshal, returns from a mission to find his father (Tom Skerritt) wounded and his son, Chad, kidnapped by the outlaw Jed Blake. Hot on their trail, Britt forms a posse with a gunslinging deputy and a stoic Pawnee tracker. But both Jed and Britt tread dangerously close to the Red Desert’s Sioux territory, which poses a menace far greater than either can imagine.

Murdoch and Inspector Brackenreid are aboard the SS Keewatin after the owner, Clarence MacFarlane, receives what he believes is a threat.

Their presence proves useful after MacFarlane's daughter Amy, who is engaged to her father's chief financial officer Owen Mathers, falls overboard and is nowhere to be found. As Murdoch investigates he finds there is a real threat against the Keewatin and the true facts behind Amy's disappearance.
