Claim, The
THE CLAIM is an epic story of love, passion and redemption set against the winter landscape of the Sierra Nevada Mountains and the making of California. Dillon (Peter Mullan) is a pioneer who defied the harsh winter in search of rumored gold. Having amassed unimaginable riches, he runs a thriving mining town called Kingdom Come.
But the blind ambition and greed that drove him to succeed finally catch up to him with the arrival of three strangers. Dalglish (Wes Bentley), a surveyor looking to expand the Central Pacific Railroad into Kingdom Come, threatens the future of the town. And, two women from Dillion's past hold a secret that could be his undoing.
