Buffalo Bill Cody built an empire on his Wild West show, captivating crowds with death-defying stunts and the rugged romance of the frontier. His star attraction? The diminutive but deadly Annie Oakley, a former Ohio farm girl who could outshoot any man. As their fame skyrockets, these two cultural icons must navigate the highs of adoration and the perils of their own legends. From the grand stages of Europe to the bitter battles of the American West, their lives intertwine in a sweeping tale of ambition, friendship, and the eternal power of the American mythos.
