One man's journey in search of fame, fortune, and love in the late 19th century. Life has dealt Justus Warner a cruel hand, and he longs to become a self-made man. Luck and fate are different sides of the same coin, and Justus never knows which face will show up as he seeks to make his fortune. His life begins in London's slums, as an orphan in a boys' home, cleaning chimneys. A benefactor offers him an opportunity to become something more. His travels take him from London, England, to Montreal, Canada, where he is once again alone in the world. Another benefactor gives him a chance to improve his social status. An opportunity to travel to Calgary, Canada marks the beginning of his real adventures. He finds love, loses it, and, in mourning his broken heart, finds the Mountain Trail of Golden Tears.
