Ben Cone has a simple dream: get enough gold to marry Madeline and take her to Boston where they will live happily ever after. But his quest to the Black Hills for gold soon turns into a trail of graves. Partnered up with an ancient buffalo hunter and his feisty granddaughter, Ben will spend a long bitter winter with the Cheyenne, run from warring Indians, fight outlaws and dig graves for friends and enemies. Forced to choose between a new love and an old one, Ben will have to decide if the price of a dream can be too much to continue pursuing it, or if you can sacrifice so much for a dream that you can never give it up.
