This film tells a Romeo and Juliet-style love story set in the 19th century. The story takes place against the backdrop of the infamous Mountain Meadows Massacre, which occurred on September 11, 1857, in American history. A wagon train heading to California passes through southern Utah, where Mormons discover that the wagon train includes those responsible for the Han's Mill massacre in Missouri in 1838, which involved the execution of a "cleanup order" driving Mormons out. They decide to enact revenge. Secretly collaborating with Native American tribes, they surround and ambush the wagon train, killing 120 men and women in the name of God, while only 17 children under the age of 10 survive. Later, Mormon leader John D. Lee, who was involved in planning and executing the massacre, was sentenced to death, and 20 years later, the adopted son of Mormon leader Brigham Young was also sentenced to death. Due to the perspective reflected in the film, this event remains controversial to this day. Two young people, one a Mormon and the son of a local Mormon bishop, and the other the young daughter of a wagon train minister, who is an immigrant moving from Arkansas to California, despite the deep-seated animosity between their families and the stubbornness of societal views, develop a beautiful love for each other and confess their affection...
