Two women fight for survival on the edge of civilisationColorado, 1884. In a valley where the Great Plains meet the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, homesteader Annie Duke works her claim alone. But between cattle barons who want her acres and the harsh winters that threaten everything she's worked for, Annie's fortunes are on a knife edge. Then one day a horse appears on the horizon, dragging an unconscious woman behind it. The woman - who calls herself Jane - has been shot, and Annie nurses her back to health, though always keeping a shotgun close. She knows enough not to believe a word Jane says. But when it becomes clear that Jane is pregnant, Annie cannot help softening towards her. But when word gets out that a family have been murdered on a nearby homestead, Jane falls under suspicion. And then news comes that a violent gang has arrived in the territory and are hunting for Jane. It is hard to be a woman on the edge of civilisation, and Annie may not be able to save her new companion...
