When Sean Hussey returns to the town where he lived as a boy, it's with revenge on his mind. He's made a success of himself out west and intends to get even with the farmer under whose thumb he once suffered. He'll show mercy only to the others who shared his fate in days gone by, especially sweet Jenny whose memory he still cherishes. Sarah Rupert hasn't had it easy growing up as a girl from the orphan train, and as a survivor of shocking abuse. Since the death of her husband, she's had to support her young son by dubious means. When Sean Hussey comes back into her life it's a miracle, because he's the boy she always wanted for her own. Trouble is, Sean just may be in love with another woman.
