About Meek's Cutoff

In 1845, a wagon train of families, lured by the promise of a shortcut, becomes hopelessly lost in the Oregon High Desert under the guidance of the boastful frontiersman Stephen Meek. As water and provisions dwindle, paranoia and distrust begin to fester. The settlers, desperate for survival, must confront their own prejudices and make difficult choices, questioning Meek's leadership and their own ability to endure the harsh realities of the wilderness.
