In this brand-new Ralph Compton Western, a hard-bitten gambler and a
hard-luck kid begin a treacherous journey to new lives.
In Omaha, Tom Calvert boards a riverboat to play high-stakes poker, but
accusations of cheating cause some serious trouble, and a deadly gun
battle ensues.
Tom is injured and knows that his enemies will be looking for him, so he
reluctantly accepts a bargain from young stowaway Asher. In exchange for
Calvert teaching him gunslinging skills, Asher will guide them to a
possibly mythical town of peace and plenty called Friendly Field. To get
there they just have to battle assassins, dangerous Shoshone, and the
rough wilderness of the Oregon Trail.
