"Clayton Jane, an ex-Confederate soldier, seeks redemption in Wyoming as a foreman for an English cattle baron. When the Englishman's sister and family visit, the ranch hands soon learn the brother-in-law has come to take over the management of the ranch. As the crew ponders its shift of loyalty to such a man, they begin to see signs that he is a wife-beater. When Clayt attempts to protect this woman, he steps into a relationship that totters between mutual respect and romance. A Pinkerton detective comes to Laramie to investigate anonymous threats toward President Grant, and Clayt becomes a suspect. Embroiled in both scandal and conspiracy, he is arrested and must break jail to find the true assasin"-- Provided by publisher.
