Call (Jon Voight), who lives in Montana and tends to his ranch with the help of his son Newt (Ricky Schroder). However, when his old friend and former comrade in arms, Clara Allen (Barbara Hershey) asks him to come to Texas to help her move her herd to Montana, Call cannot say no. Despite being reluctant to return to the past and the memories it holds, Call and Newt set off on the long journey to reunite with Clara and gather a team of cowboys to travel with the large herd. They are joined by some of their old friends, including famous outlaw and sharpshooter, Joey Garza (Dennis Haysbert), and famous tracker Joshua Deets (Louis Gossett, Jr.), while also making some new allies along the way. Meanwhile, in Montana, Sheriff July Johnson (Chris Cooper) is trying to catch a band of cattle rustlers who have been stealing his cattle repeatedly. He has enlisted the help of former Texas Ranger Pea Eye Parker (Timothy Scott), but the two of them have been unable to track down the thieves. As Call and his team make their way across the country, they deal with a variety of challenges and dangers, including harsh weather conditions, hostile Native American tribes, and bandits on the trail.
