Having permanently settled in the new state of California, Seeker Wilder makes the long journey back to his father's home in Virginia to attend his younger sister's wedding, and to mend his relations with his father while he still can. While there, he meets his sister's young and beautiful best friend, Lily O'Regan, who has a special relationship with his family. When her welfare is threatened, he is reluctantly persuaded to escort her to a relative's home in St. Louis on his return trip west, but their journey together doesn't end there as planned. The long and treacherous trail will test their young love, and an old enemy will tear them apart, seemingly forever. When fate brings them face to face once more, time and secrets, hurt and anger make the possibility of reconciliation unlikely, but a visitor's revelations will lead the gambler in Seeker to play a card to win Lily back, and then wait to see if she raises the stakes, calls or folds.
