In 1892 Johnson County, Wyoming, was invaded by open-range cattle barons and their hired gunmen from Texas. Their intention was to eliminate over seventy men who they claimed were rustlers. However, most of their intended victims were county officials and owners of small farms and ranches. A posse of over 200 men lay siege to the invaders, who were forced to take refuge in the TA Ranch compound on Crazy Woman Creek. This factually based story is seen through the eyes of U.S. Marshal Nathaniel Hamby as he fought to bring justice to Wyoming.

Twin Scots, Joshua and Joel Leslie -- closer than mere brothers -- journey down separate paths following a warning by Lakota Chief Red Cloud at Fort Laramie, Wyoming in 1866. Reverend Joel Leslie, a missionary, is captured by hostiles who torture and blind him as he travels to Montana. Medicine Hawk, a Lakota medicine man, helps him to escape, leading him over the mountains to live with a tribe of Crow. Embittered and despondent, he rejects his calling to be a missionary. He becomes a Crow medicine man, seeks vengeance against the Lakota that blinded him and takes a Crow wife. He grows to hate his brother that failed to rescue him. His twin brother, Joshua, deserts his garrison surgeon's post at Fort Laramie to find and rescue Joel. The mountains, blizzards, frostbite, pneumonia, mountain man Jack Hooker and gold fever interfere with his determination to find his brother. Driven by a raging hunger for gold, he and the mountain man's Shoshone squaw travel to South Pass -- there they live in fear of Hooker's revenge. Joel and Joshua continue to experience trials that further alienate them until their paths cross once more -- both changed -- both facing an uncertain future.
