About the movie

Samuel (Hawke) is ripped from his daughter and imprisoned in a brutal facility where Warden Clancy (Crowe) makes him an offer: join a dangerous crew of prisoners and smuggle gold out of a remote mine in exchange for his freedom. Tasked with the mission in an unforgiving wilderness, the group faces not only harsh terrain but growing greed, suspicion, and internal violence. Surrounded by betrayal, Samuel must risk everything to try to reunite with his child.
