A horrific memory from childhood compels Ed to find answers …

Denver, Colorado

1871

Ed Ralston returns to his family ranch after being raised in Boston by his grandparents. Ed’s grandfather had been his mentor growing up, teaching him many useful lessons. He also bequeathed Ed a precious gift on his 18th birthday… a map.

Fate takes an unexpected turn when Ed crosses paths with Josh Bodine, an old friend of his father’s and a seasoned expert in running a ranch.

Ed, in search of answers, seeks the truth about the tragic murder of his parents.

Josh shares the sinister tale of Cisco Kerwood, a powerful and unscrupulous local landowner and developer. A menacing figure feared by everyone, he is a source of torment for the good people of Denver.

As Ed settles into his new life on the ranch, he meets others, including the lovely Lucy Wilkens and her family.

Rumors emerge that Ed’s father once knew of a rich gold strike. Could this have something to do with the mysterious map he received from his grandfather?

Tensions mount the more questions Ed asks. The local sheriff is not helpful.

Random attacks, ambushes and shootouts convince Ed he is closing in on the painful truth. Bullets fly and lives lost, but will justice be served?
