In 1963 Montana, retired sheriff George Blackledge and wife Margaret, live with their son, James, his wife, Lorna, and their newborn grandson, Jimmy. James had been training a wild horse for sometime, but had told his mother the horse wasn’t quite there. While washing Jimmy, the wild horse comes running back through the farm, without James.

Margaret screams, alerting George who, immediately jumps on a horse in search of him. He finally finds James, dead alongside a creek, breaking his neck. Three years later, LORNa marries Donnie Weboy, though it is made obvious during the nuptials that the wedding is one of necessity. While out one day, Margaret happens to observe Donnie physically abusing both his wife and now 3-year-old Jimmy.
