Synopsis:
The year is 1852. Determined to find California gold, Lily Quinn, her husband Raegan, and their child Kelly have staked their family tent on the outskirts of Eldoradoville - a tough tent town full of rugged miners, immigrants, and prostitutes. This is a land forged by hope, faith, and a belief in the American Dream - and gold. Lily’s faith is tested a first time when their child Kelly is shot dead. Determined to be an instrument of God’s plan, Raegan goes to town seeking revenge, he tells Lily, “An eye for eyeâ€. Lily’s faith is tested a second time when she is visited by the makeshift miner turned preacher - child-killer Caleb Montgomery. By a strange twist of fate Raegan finds revenge in town with Caleb’s girl - prostitute Velvet Simons. This ends with Caleb in hot pursuit of Raegan as they ride back toward the Quinn homestead. Lily’s faith is tested a third and final time when Caleb shoots Raegan dead. Lily is pushed to make a choice between her faith and reality. Lily abandons her faith and shoots Caleb dead. She mourns for husband and child. Lily rides the family horse to points unknown - forever changed. "The Prospector" is a story that challenges viewers to deconstruct the myths and historical truths of the "western" film, and the battle between faith and reality.
