Two miners dead. A fiery explosion at the largest mine. It is clear that someone is out to ruin Parker Copper Mining Company. But it is unclear who Jules should trust.
Butte, Montana, 1905. Parker Copper Mining Company.
For her entire seventeen years, Jules Parker has felt a deep connection to her father's pitch dark, ear-splittingly loud, and dirty copper mines.
Her father, AJ Parker is the most prosperous and powerful man in the American West. He settled in Butte after first discovering gold, then silver. But because of the quick rise of telephones and the wiring of the modern world, the need for copper wire exploded and what he found deep in his mines turned out to be the most valuable of all-copper iron ore. He built an entire empire, becoming a Copper King with his mines in "the richest hill on earth."
And while Jules admires all that her father has accomplished, she cannot wait to run the mines, certain that she can bring even more success. The hardest part though... is convincing him.
AJ later announces he may be stepping away from mining to seek a position as Montana state senator, and hires the attractive and refined Ted Jackson-who romances Jules, but who also takes control of Parker Copper.
With Ted in charge, Jules relinquishes her dream of running the mining company, and envisions living a dull and conventional life. Until she meets a handsome stranger, Rand Buckley...who might be sabotaging Parker Copper for his own gain.
Loosely based on real events, Jules gets caught up in a riot at the horse races, gets swept away by a flash flood in the red-light district, befriends a strong woman who would eventually be the first woman elected to the U.S. Congress, and endures a fiery explosion at Parker Copper's largest mine that may put an end to the company forever.
