Frank T. Hopkins, a wounded cowboy haunted by the Wounded Knee Massacre, is thrust into a daring challenge.

Against a backdrop of cultural prejudice, ruthless competitors, and the inherent dangers of the race, Hopkins, accompanied by his trusty Mustang Hidalgo, embarks on a quest that will push boundaries and defy the odds.
