A Western melodrama set on the eve of the Civil War, where a Southern gambler navigates romantic entanglement and political division in a divided Denver town.

After a card game, Southerner Owen Pentecost finds himself the owner of a Denver hotel. Involved with two women, he then has to make even more fundamental choices when, with the start of the Civil War, he becomes one of a Confederate minority in a strongly Unionist town.
