The last thing legendary trapper and dog musher Dalton Laird expected while running mail and freight between steel during the construction of the Alaska railroad in 1918, was a run in with a member of the old Interior Syndicate he had broken up and sent to prison in 1910.To Frank Ward's way of thinking, he had done eight years in a Canadian Prison because of Dalton...and then Dalton went and stole his woman; the beautiful half-breed daughter of Jon Batiste, Ward's old boss.Now, in Healy Fork, at the foot hills of the Alaska Range, Dalton receives word that Ward and his men are back in the Territory of Alaska looking for blood...his blood. Dalton is no spring chicken. Friends all advise him to lay low and avoid Ward. Even his wife Corrine takes their son Jackson and leaves. But Dalton is sure of one thing. He can't run.
