In 1899, Mick doesn't plan on being a silver miner like his father, but he gets caught up, against his will, in the violent standoff between his father's union and Idaho's Bunker Hill and Sullivan Mining Company. Despite mostly stock characters, the gritty saga, inspired by real events, compels readers to care about Mick and the other unjustly imprisoned union members and sympathizers.
