What is the expected plot of Brigands: The Quest for Gold?

Brigands: The Quest for Gold revolves around Filomena, who joins a band of brigands after being forced to leave her village. Contrary to many depictions and assertions, the brigands are primarily rebels (or armed robbers) who plunder to amass wealth to obtain freedom and survive. They are typically members of rural communities who prey on passing travelers.

After shaving her luscious locks, Filomena joins the brigands and advances to the position of leader. She is not alone, though; other female bandits are more skilled and vicious. Filomena has a great advantage in the harsh jungle terrain because of her upbringing, keen observation, and composed yet passionate mind.

"In mid-19th-century southern Italy, a woman forced to go on the run transforms from dutiful wife to the ruthless leader of a group of bandits."
