It follows the intertwined destinies of Bud Hooker and Philip De Lancey as they seek their fortunes in a land filled with risk and opportunity. After arriving in Gadsden, after dangerous events in Mexico, they hope to begin again. Their path takes a pivotal turn when they meet an old prospector, Henry Kruger, and he offers them a chance to join him in a risky mining operation south of the border. The characters become entangled in a complex world of intrigue and double-crosses, all driven by the dream of wealth and the thrill of the unknown.
