It’s 1877 and the only thing that Oliver Canyon Golden has ever wanted to do is play poker. But gambling tables and guns can be a deadly combination when the cards don’t always fall the way everyone likes.
In order to avoid the violence and corruption that runs rampant in the circles he travels in, Canyon is in constant motion, moving from town to town. But then a young saloon girl in Albany, Texas catches his attention, and he’s drawn to protect her honor from the town bully. When the bully ends up dead, Canyon is the logical scapegoat and the dead man’s wealthy father vows revenge.
As Canyon finds himself on the run again, he hides out on a small ranch, befriending the owner and his family. Soon he begins to understand that there might be more to life than gambling, but his future is put in jeopardy when the dead man’s father catches up with him, intent on revenge.
Life is a gamble, and Canyon takes full advantage of the hand he’s been dealt to protect everything he holds dear.
