Storyline
In late 19th-century New Mexico, Samuel Jones reappears hoping to reconcile with his adult daughter Magdalena Maggie Gilkeson. She is unable to forgive him for abandoning the family and leaving her mother to a hard life and early death. This situation changes when renegade Apache Pesh-Chidin and a dozen of his followers pass through the area, ritualistically killing settlers and taking their daughters to be sold into sex slavery in Mexico.
