Montana sheep farmer Rebecca Yoder (Naomi Watts) offers sanctuary to an on-the-lam outlaw, Johnny Gault (Tim Daly), who is suffering from a gunshot wound. Yoder is a recent widow, and her decision to help the outsider doesn't sit well with her Quaker community. As a romance brews between her and Gault, it puts in jeopardy her standing among her devout neighbors. But when an evil rancher makes a play for the community's land, Gault's sharpshooting skills might prove his worth after all.

It is the casting of Naomi Watts as Rebecca Yoder that makes the film a singular affair.

Not your typical western. Reminds me of the movie, "Witness" with Harrison Ford, Very good plot and great acting by Naomi Watts & Tim Daly. Worth watching.

You know...I enjoyed this movie. The story has been told a bazillion times, so maybe it is my affection for Naomi Watts or my fandom of anything John Noble does..but I really enjoyed this.
