Josh Barnes, left for dead by a gang of escaping bank robbers, awakens with no memory after a brutal blow to the head. He is rescued by Amy Tanner, a determined young woman searching for lost Jesuit gold to support her struggling family-a sick father and a young brother newly arrived out west. Together, they return to the Broken Horseshoe Ranch and embark on a perilous quest to find the hidden treasure.
As their search deepens, Josh and Amy face many threats: a skirmish with renegade Indians, the return of the ruthless bank robbers, and a corrupt townsman bent on their downfall. But when they discover a headless body on Devil's Mountain, their mission takes a darker turn. Has the ancient killer, rumoured to haunt the mountain, resurfaced?
Their partnership is tested as they confront not only external dangers but also their growing feelings for each other. With a determined stalker hunting them and the unpredictable forces of nature against them, Josh and Amy must work together to survive.
