In 1865, a celebration of engineers toils in the Wyoming hills on a survey as dangerous as it is difficult: preparing just how for the Union Pacific Railroad. Young surveyor Warren Neale's being hungry for excursion and his desire to see a railroad attaching East and West earn him employment promotion. Soon he'll marry beautiful Allie, a woman he rescued after her wagon teach was raided by the Sioux. But Neale is outraged when he discovers problem one of the railroad engineering companies. And when Allie is kidnapped by ruffians, he loses his will to achieve success. Neale's problems heighten in Benton, a engineering camp packed with stragglers, parasites, and desperadoes. Here he matches the seductive and legendary Beauty Stranton. And here prowls the man who plans to make use of Allie as a lure for his playing pits. Maybe there is one more nameless grave among those dotting the slopes along the railroad?
