Life in the brutal wilderness of the Rockies is never easy. Danger can appear at any time, from any direction. Whether it's in the form of hostile Indians, fierce animals, or the unforgiving elements, death can surprise any unwary frontiersman. That's why Nate King and his family have mastered the fine art of survival - and learned to provide help to their friends whenever necessary. So when one of Nate's neighbors shows up at his cabin more dead than alive, frantic with worry because his wife and child have been taken by Indians, Nate doesn't hesitate for a second. He knows what he has to do - he'll find his friend's family and bring them back safely. Or die trying.
