Silver Creek is dying, greed and corruption are bleeding it dry.

A lost lawman, Sawyer, finds himself trapped in the death throes of a town in decline.
Theodore Harding, local savant and guide has to keep him alive long enough to make a difference.
Horses, gunsmoke, and silver.

The two lawmen must make a last stand, and help the townsfolk break free of the grip of Cobb's Red Sash Gang, and the closing fist of the Pinkerton Detective Agency set to betray them all.

Folk up and risk everything on a long journey North, to safety and a chance to build a real lasting life for themselves.

Love story that starts pretty quickly then burns forever.

Action, good vs bad. Bad keeps rearin' it's head. Good beats it back until it gets what it deserves.

Friendships, honor and integrity are the bedrocks to the moral of the story.

Best Supporting Actor: a horse named Jack 🤠

A powerful, graphic morality tale cloaked around a classic Western environment. Good does fight evil.

You will learn about the struggles to exist in a dying mining town. Two people arise to its defense and bring others along with them as they face fierce battles and corruption and well-armed men who do not give up. There are compelling, interesting people and a powerful, smart horse who joins the fight. Love is found, earned and kept strong.

You can read on and see that what is past in prologue.

A wonderful journey into the Wild West.

Take a lawman, Sawyer and add in the local Guide Theo.

Add in a corrupt Detective Agency and in Cobb's Red Sash Gang.

You have friendship between the townsfolk, honor,  integrity and some loving. As Sawyer, Theo and there band of misfits are forced to make a last stand.
