Plot Summary:
Colonel William Ludlow, disillusioned by betrayal from the US
government, establishes a ranch in remote Montana where he
raises his three sons: Alfred, Tristan, and Samuel. The
close-knit family, joined by a Cree friend and others, maintains
an unbreakable bond until Samuel brings home his fiancée,
Susannah. As the brothers go off to fight in World War I, their
relationships are challenged by the impact of war and a rivalry
for Susannah's affections, threatening to tear the family apart.
Dad's Preview:
This time-spanning epic follows the fates of three sons whose father
owns a expansive ranch in Montana. The three sons enlist and fight
in WWI, where one son, Samuel, is killed. Samuel's fiancée,
the beautiful Susannah, falls for both of the
remaining sons: the proper, conservative Alfred and the wild,
sexy Tristan. This lusty romantic adventure will

very human individuals.
