Our take
Summer 1859: a widowed physician reluctantly escorts a recently freed woman and her mysterious pale-skinned daughter on a five-day trek through the bloody West toward a faith healer. The mother fears possession; the doctor suspects a sickness that kills whatever the girl touches. Action violence, hard language, and sexual-assault references run through the trip. ClearAge leans toward 16 for mature older teens and adults.
Story (may spoil tone)
In the summer of 1859, a widowed physician reluctantly agrees to take a recently freed slave and her mysterious Caucasian daughter on a five-day journey through the bloody West to find a distant town's Faith Healer. The woman believes her daughter is possessed. The doctor believes she simply carries The Sickness. Either way the fact remains that every living thing the girl touches mysteriously dies.
