Seth Bates races through a treacherous storm-swept night to fulfill an old promise to his dying wife Martha, battling bandits, roadblocks, and his own desperation to reach the one man in town who can help her.

A haunting tale of devotion tested against impossible odds, "The Promise" shows just how far a man's word can take him.
