The story:

America, 1873. 

​

​Deputy Marshal Daniel Goodnight carries a secret as he searches for a killer. When the young Marshal is

wounded in a gunfight he falls into the care of homesteader Joseph Hand and his wife Kate. Marshal Daniel's

assailants work for a Mining Company which suspects Hand's land of containing precious copper ore.

 

A violent confrontation seems inevitable as the gang of hired guns arrive to claim it. The pacifist Joseph Hand must shelter the wounded Marshal and decide whether to abandon his ranch or fight to keep it. However, Joseph Hand also carries a secret; one that could help save the Marshal - or lead him into even greater peril.
