Utah Territory, 1860. After her father’s death, Jacqueline Rivers manages an isolated Pony Express station and accepts an unofficial request from a government investigator to watch for a counterfeiting operation using the route. The work places her between riders, stage passengers and criminals who all depend upon the station’s remoteness.

Elijah Johnson arrives while searching for his employer’s missing heir and finds that Jacqueline may hold information connected to his own mission. Neither knows whether the other can be trusted. As the counterfeiters close in, family secrets and the pressures of the new communications network turn the station into a dangerous crossroads.
