The story imagines that the American outlaw Butch Cassidy did not die in a shootout in Bolivia but has been living in quiet exile under the name James Blackthorn for twenty years. Now an aging man, he decides to return to the United States to see his family one last time. On his journey, he crosses paths with a young criminal who steals his savings. Forced into one last adventure to recover his money, Blackthorn must confront the legend of his past and the consequences of the life he left behind.
