In un attimo fatale, come il Lord Jim di Conrad, il giovane Billy Parham inaugura la sua storia. Siamo alle soglie della Seconda guerra mondiale, Billy e Boyd sono figli di un piccolo allevatore del New Mexico, autoritario e taciturno. Catturata una lupa che si sta accanendo sul bestiame della famiglia, Billy decide di non consegnarla al padre, che la ucciderebbe, ma di riportarla sulle montagne messicane per restituirla al suo mondo.

Two men marked by the boyhood adventures of All the Pretty Horses and The Crossing now stand together to confront a country changing beyond recognition. In the fall of 1952, John Grady Cole and Billy Parham are cowboys on a New Mexico ranch, encroached upon from the north by the military. On the southern horizon are the mountains of Mexico, where one of the men is drawn incessantly in this story of friendships and passion, to a love as dangerous as it is inevitable.

John Grady Cole sella il cavallo e insieme all'amico Rawlins si mette sull'antica pista che conduce alla frontiera e più in là al Messico, inseguendo un passato nobile e, forse, mai esistito. Attraverso la vastità di un territorio maestoso e senza tempo i due cowboy, cui si aggiunge il tragico e selvaggio Blevins, intraprendono un viaggio mitico che li porterà fin nel cuore aspro e desolato dei monti messicani.
