In the late 1860’s, brother and sister Charlotte and Augustus Reynolds lead a retired but comfortable life in England on their family’s estate in England. Their world is thrown upside down after the death of their father when their eldest brother refuses to honour the spirit of his will. With their hopes blighted, they take the unexpected opportunity to travel to Montana Territory to live on the ranch of their late, disgraced uncle. Neither Charlotte nor Augustus had realised how easy their privileged lives had been until faced with the reality of coping with new experiences and living alongside very different people in America immediately after the end of the Civil War. On the steamboats of the Mississippi and the Missouri, on the plains and in the mountains, in a raw new township being born on the prairie, they find their old values and assumptions shaken as they are forced to reassess what is essential and what is worth fighting for to make a future for themselves in the far West.
