U.S. Marshal Jameson “Jake” Reid had been searching for the notorious outlaw, Harmon Elwood for nearly a year after he robbed the Midtown Lincoln Stage. From horse raids to train rides, every clue to finding Elwood led Jake to the small mining town of Deadwood. Upon his arrival, he is immediately met with resistance and suspicion and no further at catching the elusive Elwood.

But when a new Marshal comes to town stirring up trouble, her way of life is threatened as well as her heart. Unable to elude the persistent Marshal’s questions, Emily struggles to choose between living the life she had fought for or losing everything she had.
As Jakes and Emily become close, Jake finds himself surrounded by conspiracy, blackmail, and a town full of secrets. Can he solve the mystery looming over this town and finally bring Harmon Elwood to justice or will his heart and senses get tangled in a web of lies?
