This film begins somewhere in Texas with a group of fur trappers being ambushed by a tribe of hostile Indians in the mysterious Buckskin Woods. Needless to say, this news doesn't sit well with one of the leaders of the Southwestern Fur Company named "Captain Coleman" (Robert Keith) who, rather strangely, seems more concerned about the loss of the pelts that were being brought back than about the men employed by him. That changes, however, when he is told that his grandson "Levi Coleman" (Blaze Freeman) was with those group of men and his body has not been accounted for yet. To that effect, he immediately sends for a former trapper named "Wesley Porter" (Tom Zembrod) and offers a bounty of $100 to him if he can bring his grandson back alive. Naturally, having recently experienced a traumatic episode while venturing in those same woods, Porter is somewhat reluctant to accept this new mission. To that effect, his wife "Cora Porter" (Tiffany McDonald) is also concerned and, to possibly dissuade him from going, urges him to seek out a Pawnee "Fortune Teller" (played by Giovannie Cruz) for advice. Yet, even after the fortune teller tells him that he will not return from his journey, his desire for the bounty overrides everything else and he sets off anyway. What he doesn't realize, however, is that hostile Indians aren't the only formidable enemy he must soon face. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this film started off well enough but it soon got bogged down when it crossed over into mystical or philosophical territory. To put it mildly, neither the director (Brett Bentman), the writers or the actors were capable of pulling it off on their own. In short, I was not at all impressed with this movie and I have rated it accordingly. Below average.
