A frontier romance set against the vast Montana wilderness, where a pragmatic trapper discovers genuine love across cultural lines amid the adventure of the fur trade.

In the 1830's beaver trapper Flint Mitchell and other white men hunt and trap in the then unnamed territories of Montana and Idaho. Flint marries a Blackfoot woman as a way to gain entrance into her people's rich lands, but finds she means more to him than a ticket to good beaver habitat.
