Captain Max Winslow knows that the world around him is changing, but that doesn't mean he has to accept it. While everyone else sees the taming of the Wild West as progress, he clings to the dream of frontiers yet explored.

When he first sets eyes on no-nonsense Harvey Girl Emma Elliot, he knows that anything between them would be impossible. She's a realist embracing what the future holds, while he's a dreamer, determined to preserve the West he once knew. But is there perhaps room in his dream for more, or will his resolve to hang on to the past jeopardize their future?
