Learning that his father's close to death, Cheyenne travels to New York in the hope of being reconciled with him during his final hours, only to arrive too late. Having been estranged for over 30 years, it is only now, in death, that he learns the true extent of his father's humiliation at Auschwitz at the hands of former SS Officer Aloise Muller - an event he was determined to avenge. Cheyenne decides to pick up where his father left off, and starts a life-altering journey, at his own pace, into the heartland of America.
As his quest unfolds, reawakened by the people he encounters, Cheyenne must finally decide if it is redemption he seeks, or revenge.
