Among this diverse group is the young and determined Mary, who dreams of a new life in Oregon with her family. However, the road is fraught with challenges, from arid deserts to imposing rivers that they must cross, all while facing the relentless forces of nature and tensions among themselves.
As they progress, personalities clash and secrets come to light. The tension escalates when a con artist joins the group, jeopardizing not only their belongings but also their unity as a community. With the threat of diseases, food shortages, and attacks from natives looming, the adventure transforms into a struggle for survival.

Throughout the journey, bonds are strengthened and some romances blossom, while loss and sacrifice become part of the path. In the end, they will confront the most crucial question: Will they succeed in reaching their destination and fulfilling their dreams, or will they become just another forgotten story in the vast plains of the United States? With breathtaking landscapes and a deep focus on the spirit of the settlers, this adventure serves as a tribute to human courage and the quest for freedom.
