A legendary prospector finds his fame – and nobility – amidst the gold rushes of the 19th century, striving against arctic monsters, evil industrialists, and the relentless forces of nature.

The Yukon Territory, 1895. A reclusive prospector comes to the aid of a Smithsonian explorer after she dares the frozen wilderness to capture a legendary beast known as the Sesquat. In his cabin, waiting out a storm, he regales her with the tale of his thrilling and often tragic past.

From great gold rushes of California to the silver strikes in Nevada, and then on to the inescapable lure of the Klondike, a father and son strive to keep morally afloat as the surging tide of humanity sweeps upon their land to plunder its wealth. As this age fashioned the destiny of a nation, so too would it forge a hero...

A reluctant hero, who must now return to the world he's tried to avoid. To avenge his parents' murders, fight for the rights of his people, and ultimately, to embark upon a path into legend.
