During this rough time, the Dutton family faces many dangers, such as a range war with Scottish ranchers led by Banner Creighton (Jerome Flynn).
Banner's men attack the Duttons, killing John Sr. and seriously hurting Jacob, which makes the situation worse. Cara takes over running the livestock association while Jacob gets better.
At the same time, Donald Whitfield, played by Timothy Dalton, a cruel businessman, shows up and tries to buy the Duttons' land for its valuable minerals. Whitfield pressures the family, and Jacob tries to do right by the Duttons.
However, Banner is eventually freed, which makes the fight last longer. The Duttons are having money problems, especially because their taxes are past due. As the land and legacy of the Duttons become more at risk, the stakes get higher.
To address his PTSD from World War I, his nephew Spencer Dutton has relocated to Africa. Learning big game hunting, he develops feelings for Alexandra (Julia Schlaepfer).
But things get convoluted when Alexandra's ex-boyfriend challenges Spencer, sparking a fatal duel. Alexandra returns to London, leaving Spencer to negotiate more family issues by way of his return to Montana.
