“The story is about a young Harvard dropout who seeks his destiny out West by tying his fate to a team of buffalo hunters led by Miller. Together, they embark on a harrowing journey risking life and sanity. The title refers to the small Kansas town where the two intersect in the novel’s story, which is set in the 1870s,” according to the outlet’s synopsis.
From Saban Films, Butcher’s Crossing is directed by Gabe Polsky (Red Penguins) who adapted the screenplay along with Liam Satre-Meloy.
