Keith, a Virginian now a border plainsman, travels the Santa Fe trail with Ned after freeing two murdered men’ papers and a locket. He clashes with Black Bart Hawley in a cabin and urges escape with a mysterious girl named Christie Maclaire, who is revealed as Hope Waite, while memories of Civil War loyalties haunt him.
