For Jason Locke, the ranch on the Green River is the realization of a dream, a chance to hang up his guns and build a new life. For Wiley Carr, it is the home he never had. For Avram and Sarah Kleinfeld, escaping the atrocities of Eastern Europe, it is a sanctuary and a place of renewed hope. For Wes and Dorinda Corning it represents a chance to steal a stake to further their ambitions. And for John Drayton, it is a time of soul-searching and decision. To add to the struggle, all of them must face the savage Wyoming winter.
