Storia
In 1851 Manitoba's Red River Valley, a young woman, Annie, arrives at a wilderness fort claiming to have murdered her husband. She is placed in a cell and spends several months sewing while local prefect Henry Mullen investigates her claim. Through flashbacks, it is revealed that Annie was arranged to marry Simon, a hard-working but angry man who abuses her. Simon's younger brother George treats Annie kindly, but he is too weak to protect her. The truth about what happened remains unclear until Mullen arrives at their homestead and hears a different story from the locals that potentially exonerates Annie.
