Sinopse

In 1960, the frozen wilderness of Chicken, Alaska, becomes a deadly battleground when drifting cowboy Wyatt Peoples stumbles into a web of murder and greed.
 
Fresh from the Korean War and seeking refuge in the goldfields near the Canadian border, Wyatt finds unexpected purpose working for the captivating Amy Crockett and her mining family. But when Amy's brother is found murdered and Wyatt becomes the prime suspect, he must use his law enforcement background to clear his name and protect the woman who's stolen his heart.
 
As winter closes in and violence escalates in the tight-knit mining community, Wyatt discovers that in Alaska's last frontier, everyone carries a gun, and justice often comes with the pull of a trigger.
