The story introduces John Saxton, who has relocated to Clarkson to manage the troubled investments of a group of Eastern investors. The narrative sets up the challenges he faces in this new environment, highlighting his past failures in ranching and the complexities of the Western landscape wrapped around business and social interactions. At the start of the novel, Saxton arrives in Clarkson and meets William Porter, the president of the local bank, who advises him about navigating the financial landscape of the region. Saxton, seeking to prove himself after a failed venture in Wyoming, grapples with his reputation and the expectations of those around him.
