During the Hell storm that erupts amongst the three cultures forming the emerging state of Arizona; the former Mexican empire, the Apache territories, and the ‘manifest destiny’ European invasion, a pioneer woman - whilst ward to a young Mexican girl - is kidnapped by Apache warriors, stabbed sixteen times, and left for dead in the snow-covered, Santa Rita Mountains.
