In the midst of the devastating American Civil War, five Southern prisoners, all on death row, were given an unexpected reprieve. They were offered pardons in exchange for a perilous mission, one that would test their resolve, their skills, and their very survival. The five men, brought together under duress, were tasked with traversing treacherous Western territories to apprehend a double agent, a cunning Confederate spy with a price on his head and a stagecoach full of gold.

Their leader, a seasoned fighter with a quiet yet resolute demeanor, took charge of the group. This unspoken leader emerged as the focal point of unity for the group, their collective hope for survival and redemption. Upon their release from prison, the group was provided with minimal information about their mission, except for the vague mention of the spy and the location of a stagecoach, allegedly in the hands of the man they were tasked to apprehend.
