In 1927, A father’s son and wife are victims of a raid from the last of the free Apache. His relentless quest for revenge challenges their need to survive as the true motives of both groups are revealed.
_

Full Description:

The 1920s were a tumultuous period where the remnants of the Apache tribe, known as the Broncos, still roamed free in the Sierra Madre Mountains in Mexico. They were the survivors who refused to succumb to reservation life after the legendary Geronimo's surrender in 1886. In this episode, we unravel the harrowing tale of Francisco Fimbres, a father, whose world is shattered when his beloved son and wife fall victim to a brutal raid by the elusive Broncos.

The heart-wrenching loss that pushes Fimbres over the edge. Consumed by grief and anger, he embarked on a relentless quest for vengeance, vowing to track down every last member of the free Apache tribe responsible for the devastating assault.

Amidst the unforgiving social conditions of the time, where both Mexicans and Apache struggle to survive in poverty and subsistence, the lines between right and wrong blur as the father's thirst for revenge and the Broncos' fight for survival converge in a collision course that could only end in tragedy.

As the father's pursuit intensifies, he finds an unexpected ally in a local girl, who has a unique connection to the elusive Broncos. She alone might be the only one who truly understands both worlds and is the key to the conflict. Her existence adds layers of complexity to an already tangled tale of vendetta and betrayal.

If it was ever possible for the Broncos and Mexicans to reach an understanding and live together we will never know. The results of this blood feud ensure that this is not that kind of story.
