To collect on their inheritance, they learn they must climb the tallest peak in the Black Hills. Along their journey, father and son discover the West, themselves, their relationship with each other, and the secrets of Valentine McGillycuddy, that if told, will dramatically change our understanding of the life of Crazy Horse and American history.
