A heartbreak makes a wreck out of Trent-can he find the strength to pull himself together? The life of a Mountie is a lonely one, always on the road while normal people go home to their loved ones. Time has passed since Trent met Agnes, and the sergeant finally decides to propose to her. But he's too late-his beloved is gone, already married to another. The news sends Trent into a downward spiral of self-destruction, and it's a drunken wretch who, a few weeks later, finds himself in a small town harried by brutal bandits.
