Clay Westbrook filed a claim for his acreage in the wide-open expanse of Wyoming's countryside, a seemingly endless frontier. But when a man with ruthless ambition stakes his own claim for development, he'll go to any length to drive Clay out.
This compelling western about railroad expansion, the changing frontier and one cowboy's love of his land will appeal to fans of traditional westerns.
