The Rockies, 1840. Floyd Logan is running out of time. Desperate for one last visit to his aging parents, the roughhewn man struggles with leaving his wife and child alone in the piercing winter and exposed to danger. And after battling his way through gale-force winds for seven hundred miles, the haggard man's tough trek ends prematurely when an old enemy's accusations trap him in a frontier jail. Frustrated by the delay in clearing his name and finally completing the arduous journey to reunite with his folks, an exhausted Floyd fears his return to his own family may come at a terrible price. But with the endless plains, slave-catchers, crooked lawmen, and deadly ambushes standing between the determined man and his homecoming, he'll have to fall back on what he knows best: valor and pure grit. Will Floyd ever make it back to his beloved wilderness, or will the trials of travel cost him his life?".
