The Birthright Feud #western #19thcentury #inheritance #cowboys #family #conflict #power #justice
In the late 19th century, the arid plains of New Mexico are dominated by the powerful McCall family, renowned for their sprawling cattle ranch and deep-rooted influence over the land and its people. The family patriarch, old and blind Isaac McCall, has reached the twilight of his life and is ready to pass down his vast empire. His eldest son, Ethan McCall, a rugged and experienced rancher known for his integrity and hard work, has long been expected to inherit the reins. However, Ethan\'s younger brother, Jack McCall, is a cunning and ambitious man with a knack for deceit and manipulation. Seizing the opportunity presented by their father\'s failing health and diminishing senses, Jack concocts a nefarious plan to usurp Ethan\'s birthright. With the covert assistance of his mother, Rebecca McCall, who harbors her own ambitions and grievances, Jack disguises himself as Ethan and tricks their father into signing over the entire estate and family blessing to him.
