Following clues he'd ignored for years Fred Gray a Korean War Veteran and life long cattle rancher makes an unbelievable discovery on his land. He has no idea of the discoverys origin, and the more he thinks about it the stranger he behaves. His wife and son, who know nothing of the discovery, begin to doubt his sanity. The old man soon reveals the secret--to a very select group of people--that unintentionally unleashes a wave of events that change the lives of everyone in the room in ways they could never imagine. A trusted ranch hand is murdered, Gray's granddaughter is abducted and the rancher's discovery is the required ransom. This tale weaves through feelings of excitment, bewilderment, fear, saddness, regret and triumph. In the end a heavy price was demanded but the reward was proportionate.
