It's not easy being the framework of your family. Tony Duggan didn't ask for the job. It surprised him when he inherited his grandparent's premier night spot in Butte, Montana. And, even before he had time to move into the mansion that came as part of the package, a beautiful young woman is in his office with a bombshell of a problem.
Tony grew up in the shadow of the Leonard Mine where people regarded the rock-solid triangle of steel that covered the opening to the mine—the gallus frame—as the framework of Butte. Indeed, every dollar earned by miners, owners, and business men alike, is the result of ore from the mines.
Tony's feuding uncles—Nick head of The Company, and Joey Miners Union boss— were happy to give their nephew the duty both had expected. And dreaded. Another, Father T.J., waits and watches.
So Tony deals with Meg and her son Mike, the boy he adopts in his heart. And his own family, wife Nancy and children Vince and Shirley. Sometimes he feels like Solomon. Personally, he second-guesses past choices as loneliness and arthritis conspire to make him regret some of his personal decisions.
Mike, Vince and Shirley soon fill the pages of Tony's life with their own sagas. They interact with movie starlets, rock stars, and baseball greats in L.A., Vegas, Boston, D.C. Always, Tony remains a big part of their lives.
Then, when Butte's magnet pulls Tony's children back, his life is forever changed.
