Summary

On the frontier of an unnamed Empire, an aging Magistrate has long kept peace with the nomadic peoples his government calls 'barbarians.' When a ruthless Colonel arrives to interrogate prisoners and provoke a war, the Magistrate's quiet defiance and his bond with a wounded native woman put him at odds with the regime he once served.
