Eight years after her husband was listed as missing in action at the Battle of the Little Bighorn, Grace Harrington decides to leave her home and two children to find the man she can’t live without. Convinced her beloved Lieutenant is alive and waiting to be rescued, Grace embarks on a treacherous three-year odyssey to locate her husband. Her quest takes her through an unforgiving terrain where she encounters vigilante troops seeking revenge on the Indians for what happened to General Custer and his soldiers, a corrupt steamship captain and his crew trolling the Yellowstone River, and renegade Cheyenne warriors hoping to take back the land from which they were driven.
Along the way, Grace meets an outcast Kiowa Indian woman who was married to a trapper killed by Sioux braves. After he was murdered, she was taken captive and traded from tribe to tribe and broke her leg while escaping from her captors. The two form an unlikely bond with the Indian woman promising to help Grace determine what became of her husband in exchange for helping her make it back to the Kiowa.
Based on a true story, The Quest is an authentic drama of a heartbroken woman who trades a sheltered, secure life in upstate New York to search for the man she promised never to forsake.
