San Francisco, 1849. Recently widowed Olivia Brighton works in her brother’s restaurant while miners, merchants and opportunists crowd into the rapidly expanding city. Marriage proposals are plentiful, but Olivia refuses to entrust her future to another man chasing sudden wealth.

Joseph Sawyer becomes involved in local politics and an investigation into crime and the exploitation of Chinese labourers. As violence and corruption spread through the boomtown, a major fire threatens the restaurant and the security Olivia has begun to rebuild. Their relationship develops through a shared attempt to choose responsibility over the greed surrounding them.
