In a wild, untamed valley, two rival clans—the River People and the Cliff-Dwellers—have always eyed each other with suspicion. When the Cliff-Dwellers begin kidnapping women from the River tribe, old wounds reopen and violence threatens to consume the valley.

Sa-La, a brave young River woman, escapes her captors and rallies her people, determined to end the cycle of abduction and fear.

Meanwhile, Gorn, a young hunter of the Cliff-Dwellers, begins to question his own tribe's actions as he forms an unlikely connection with Sa-La during her captivity.
