When a wagon guide's treachery provokes a devastating attack on an emigrant train, young Jim Bowers loses his family and fiancée in the massacre—but discovers Chief Arrow was deliberately goaded into war. Now Jim infiltrates the boom-town settlement built on stolen Indian lands to expose the conspiracy, using recovered artifacts and psychological pressure to unravel the murderers' nerve before they silence each other. It's a tense hunt for justice across the frontier, where a man's guilt becomes his greatest enemy.
