Vin Lockhart is a successful Denver City saloon owner. He has money, a girl and great plans for the future. But his past isn't through with him yet. When he was a boy, Vin was adopted by a band of Oglala Siouxs after they found him wandering alone, the only survivor of a cholera attack that took his family. They raised him as one of their own, and taught him the ways of a warrior. But Vin had to follow his heart back to his family's people, back to the world of the white man. Now, though, his Oglala past has come calling. Vin is the only man who can help his adopted father in his desperate search for Vin's former brother-in-law—a search that will lead Vin back to a world he long ago turned away from.
