Chase wants no part of going to college or following in his father's footsteps to become a Doctor. His dream involves cattle and horses and he follows that dream to the Arizona Territory. One cold, rainy day his life takes a turn when he finds himself looking down the muzzle of a Colt Walker. More surprising is the woman holding that gun. She is badly beaten and wants Chase's wagon, water, and food to get herself and her three-year old son to safety. Will she be someone Chase could let into his heart or someone who could destroy his life?
