Jim Beal falls onto the Knutsons' veranda, bloody and gasping for his last breaths. The gold in his saddle and the map in his pack take the Knutsons down a road with many dark and twisted turns. Young Tavi Knutson and her father decide to follow the map to hunt the treasure they are sure to find. Instead, they find themselves being the hunted as they follow the trail of "The Man from Beartooth Pass."
