Shots ring out. Three riders hightail it out of sight as 11-year-old Jonathan and his 9-year-old sister Abigail hide near the barn. With their parents brutally murdered in 1910, the children carry the scars of the loss. Abigail stops speaking to anyone but her brother, Jonathan, seeks revenge.
Two years later while searching the cabin, the children find a shiny object embedded in the floorboards. It’s a rowel broken off a spur. This new evidence rekindles Jonathan’s vow to find the killers.
Jonathan studies strangers in town for a broken spur. Friends and family, including Abigail, insist he ends the search. They reason murderers wouldn’t stay nearby nor return years later. But Jonathan refuses to give up.
With the investigative savvy of their visiting aunt, the search is on. But reopening the case may put the siblings’ lives in danger. Two decisions face the young man: if he recognizes the murderers, will he tell the sheriff and trust the courts for justice, or will he take revenge instead?
