It's 1865, and a group of seven Swedish miners find placer gold in a small stream in the Big Horn Mountains of Wyoming. Danger lurks though, because the land is also the hunting grounds of the Sioux tribe, and their warriors bring swift death to all who dare enter. Their trespass discovered by a Sioux hunting party, the miners prepare to leave, but their greed keeps them just one day too long.

Twenty-five years later, Pennsylvania lawyer Luke Walker is found face down in a muddy street. The untimely death of his wife has driven him to find solace in whiskey, and now he prefers death to life. Nursed back to sobriety by an old friend, he embarks on a quest to recover his health, and perhaps, to

find a reason to live.

Luke's travels take him from the verdant hills of Pennsylvania to the grassland prairies of Wyoming. During his journey, he incurs the wrath of Ben Santelli, an evil man whose obsession is to find the treasure hidden by the Swedish miners decades earlier. He befriends Jesse McGill and her brother Travis, helping them escape certain death at the hands of Santelli. And, in the new State of Wyoming, he finds a home and reasons to keep on living.
