Matt Landry is fed up with politics and his life in Washington as a delegate. So he returns to Wyoming Territory to marry his fiancé Adrian Driscoll, an elegant young woman he met during a brief courtship in Cheyenne. With Adrian as his bride, he intends to start his own spread, and have the family he's always wanted. But Matt has no idea that Adrian's father King Driscoll is a corrupt rancher, who has control of the entire cattle market in northern Wyoming; that Adrian's brother Kirby is a twisted sadist who loves to inflict pain; and that King will stop at nothing, even murder, to stay in power. When Matt steps in to help a young widow, whose husband is murdered on King Driscoll's orders, his life takes a completely different turn. Now, Matt has to make a decision. Does he fight for what he believes in or does he turn the other way for the sake of his bride?
