Coal miner Joshua Morgan achieved the unthinkable—he freed himself from the oppressive grip of the Barton family and the Company Store, which kept all Appalachian miners indebted. However, this victory came at a devastating cost: his young daughter was killed by a posse led by Thomas Barton while she was on her way to deliver Joshua's payment.
Five years later, a kind but simple-minded young girl appears at Joshua's door, intensifying his determination to protect her from the Bartons and fueling his thirst for revenge. Determined to uncover the girl's origins, Joshua embarks on a mission to dismantle the Barton family's power.
As he delves deeper, Joshua uncovers the painful truth about the day his daughter died, a revelation that challenges his beliefs. When he confronts Thomas Barton, Joshua is forced to reconsider the hatred festering within him. Could Thomas have broken free from the family's tyranny too? Faced with this possibility, Joshua must decide if he can ally with a former enemy to liberate the miners and secure a peaceful future for the young girl and himself.
