    Summary

    In the unforgiving high desert of 1870s Colorado, a man can only rely on himself, his horse, his gun and his partner. When haunted civil war vet and struggling older cowboy Simon Teller is saddled with the genteel Eastern greenhorn Mark Midland on a dangerous drive to the cattle yards of Chicago, it's a fight from the start.
    Dust, danger, an initial dislike of each other and a thousand ornery cattle stand between them and their destination. But out on the trail, beneath the vast Western sky, amidst clashes and confessions, perils and shared triumphs, the two discover an affection that goes beyond merely friendship.
    When a series of unfortunate disasters strand them away from the rest of the drive, the two men must confront both their growing feelings and the wounds of their pasts. To survive, they'll need to trust each other fully, risking more than just their lives in the process.
    Out in the plains, Teller and Midland must decide how much they're willing to gamble on a new beginning - and on each other.
