The little known story of the unlikely friendship of two famous figures of the American West; Buffalo Bill Cody and Sitting Bull, told through their time in Cody's Wild West show in the 1880s.

The idea took off. For four months in 1885 the Lakota chief Sitting Bull performed in the show. The story of these two iconic figures through their brief but important collaboration.
