The Story of Savannah
The story is told by Christmas Moultrie (played by Chiwetel Ejiofor), who is 95 years old. He looks back at his friendship with Ward Allen (played by Jim Caviezel) in Savannah during the early 1900s.
Ward Allen's Life
Ward came from a wealthy family in the mid-1800s. But he chose a different path, becoming a duck hunter. This often led him to appear before Judge Harden (played by Hal Holbrook). He also had habits that caused problems with his wife, Lucy (played by Jaimie Alexander). Lucy married Ward even though her father (played by Sam Shepard) wanted her to marry Sir Graham (played by Jack McBrayer).
Challenges in Marriage
Ward's dedication to hunting and his personal struggles tested his marriage to Lucy. They faced difficult times together. The movie shows how their friendship and love helped them through these challenges.
