In the 1820s, a taciturn loner and skilled cook travels west to Oregon Territory, where he meets a Chinese immigrant also seeking his fortune. Soon the two team up on a dangerous scheme to steal milk from the wealthy landowner’s prized Jersey cow—the first, and only, in the territory.

Even though it was obvious how this story was going to end I still held out hope! Nicely shot and with both leads endearing in their own way, can’t say much without spoiling it but in a way it was a happy ending.
