Synopsis

Twenty-five-year-old Theodore Roosevelt is on the path to greatness – a Harvard education, famed family name, rocketing political career, and a loving wife due with their first child. But what should be the happiest day of his life turns unbearably tragic when his beloved mother succumbs to Typhoid and his wife, Alice, dies after giving birth. Reeling from unimaginable loss, Roosevelt decides his place isn’t among the high rises and social elite, but on America’s frontier. Here, he believes America found its mettle. And it’s here, in the desolate beauty of the Dakota Territory, where he intends to remake himself – mind, body and soul – into something greater.
