Description
Phil, a successful rancher who works alongside his younger brother George, living by the same principles that their mentor, Bronco Henry, had taught them at a younger age. When George announces he has taken a wife, Rose, who works in a local restaurant, and her son, Peter, extreme tension ensues. Phil doesn't take kindly to Rose or Peter and torments both every chance he gets until eventually strikes up a more complex relationship with Peter. Phil finally reaches his breaking point when Rose requests that the Native Americans on their land take all the cowhide that Phil has been using to make Peter a rope. Phil sees making this rope and forming this bond with Peter as a way of recreating the relationship he had with Bronco Henry. Unbeknownst to Phil, Peter has taken the hide off a diseased dead cow earlier. Phil weaves the rope, soaking his hands in the same liquid that the diseased cowhide is in, not wearing any gloves and with a large open cut on his hand. The next day, he falls sick, and George takes him to the doctor, but he doesn't make it, succumbing to his infection. It is suggested to George that Phil died from anthrax at Phil's funeral, but George dismisses this notion because Phil was always very clear about not working with diseased animals. After Phil's death, in his room, Peter handles the rope that Phil had made for him with gloves on, but he pushes it under the bed as he hears George and Rose come home from the funeral. Peter looks out his bedroom window to see the two embracing, smiles, and walks away.
