For those new to Plentiful and for those about to arrive, it would be a place for a new start, a place to feel welcome in. But there is a price, which will be paid with the souls of all those who call Plentiful home.

In the spring of 1882, James Meric and his pregnant wife, Ivy, had their lives changed forever. Their belongings had been loaded onto a buckboard in the early morning hours, as they were suddenly banished from their home in Virginia. After several months of hardship in a perilous country, they found the town of Plentiful nestled against the Eastern flank of the Rocky Mountains. They had a new baby and renewed hope.

Others were coming to Plentiful and had their own reasons for making such a journey. They would all be tested by the rugged magnificence of an untamed land and by the cunning minds of those who inhabit the lawless frontier.
