Premise

In a gold-rush boomtown that has gone bust, a prospector strikes gold - and is murdered. Sheriff Jim Ambrose (Gabriel Byrne) assumes the killer to be a newcomer, a former slave who calls himself Cicero (Isaiah Mustafa), because "he's the only man who doesn't know what I'll do to him." But as it becomes clear that Cicero is innocent, and as the mystery of the prospector's death deepens and puts the whole town in jeopardy, the town's new minister, Thaddeus Murphy (Thomas Jane) and his straight-shooting wife Alice (Anna Camp) must stand up to Sheriff Ambrose and bring the true culprit to justice.
