David Kent, once a New Hampshire attorney now tied to the Western Pacific, endures Gaston’s boom and bust as investors flood Dry Creek with rail dreams. A city born from hype collapses. Kent watches bailiffs, bankers, and famed Bucks rallying cries amid a spreading panic that tests his resolve and ethics. The tale tracks ambition, betrayal, and a man’s attempt to salvage dignity in a ruined town.
