Wyoming Territory, Late summer 1888
The stagecoach from Walden, Colorado to Laramie, in the Wyoming Territory is attacked by robbers. Deputy Sheriff Gabe McCarthy postpones his plans to leave town and comes to the rescue of the stranded travelers and the wounded driver. Chasing after the robbers and recovering the stolen valuables gets Gabe in trouble. Instead of thanks, he is accused of stealing most of the silver coins a banker from Denver was carrying in a trunk.
A drifter all his life, an orphan boy nobody wanted, raised by a gambler, Gabe McCarthy is a stranger in every town, a man with no friends, feared by some and not welcome by others. Is he going to be alone all his life, wandering from place to place? Will he ever find a place to call home, with people who cared and a special woman to wait for him?
