Six years after leaving behind his inheritance, Tyrell Sloan returns to
familiar ground. In 1890, he was the heir to his Grandfather, John
Henry Sloan Sr.', estate, comprising 300 acres of red shale, forest and
pasture. Near the homestead, and less than an hour's ride upstream of
the Hudu Creek, were three gold claims, the Sloan 1, 2 and 3. At the
time of his reprieve, the claims were contracted for a two-year term,
with the Wake Up Jake a mining company. In the letter, he wrote in
1890 and left behind on that fateful night stashed in the sacks of gold
left in Grandma Heddy's care, Tyrell bequeathed to Grandma the gold
and his share of whatever the Wake Up Jake produced during the term
of the contract. To Marissa, he left behind the homestead, all 300 acres.
With plans to head north and back to his hometown of Hell's Bottom,
he was sidetracked. A recurring dream of his grandfather's death, and
the men who killed him, as well as the face-to-face encounter with the
villainous men of his dream took over the next six years of his life.
With the possibility of being hanged, Tyrell returns to Red Rock
Canyon to live his life in obscurity. To his surprise Marissa, his
one time true love, continues to reside there. It isn't long before the
two are once more reacquainted, and their adventure begins as Tyrell
tries to right his wrongs from days gone past.
