At the end of the 19th century, sheep farms cover more and more territory in Chilean Patagonia. In 1893, Maclenan, an English soldier, Bill, an American mercenary and Segundo, a Chilean mestizo, embark on an expedition on horseback to delimit and claim the land that the State has granted to José Menendez.
The alleged administrative expedition turns into a violent hunt for indigenous Ona.

20 years later, Vicuña, a direct envoy of the President, visits the already civilized lands. Segundo sees in him the opportunity to redeem his guilt.
