In 1850s Oregon, the notorious Sisters brothers, Eli and Charlie, are hired to track down and kill a prospector. The brothers are an odd pair - Eli is thoughtful, Charlie is a ruthless killer. As they traverse the rugged frontier in search of their target, the Sisters must confront their troubled past and their violent present. Their odyssey becomes a darkly comic yet brutally intense meditation on the bonds of brotherhood and the high cost of revenge.
