At the age of thirteen, Declan Bailey leaves Pine Mountain, Tennessee, to chase adventure across the untamed West. From working the rugged railroads and perilous cattle drives, he forges a life for himself in an unforgiving world. But life in the Wild West often demands more than hard work. Declan becomes a hired gun - and a man haunted by his choices and hardened by loss.

From the early 19th century through to 1872, Declan's adventure takes him through towering mountains and sprawling plains, leading to a fateful confrontation in the Maricopa Mountains.
