It is 1850 in St. Louis, and Abriel Catton receives the last will and testament of his father, Web Catton, an enigmatic mountain man. Among the papers are instructions that Ab must reassemble his family: brothers and sisters he can barely remember, that separated after the death of his mother. Together they will search for Web Catton's legacy, all the while pursued by Braxton Bragg and his desire for revenge and gold. Also in pursuit of the Cattons is General Cavaignac. Fresh from fighting in Algeria, and now struggling for control of France, Cavaignac has heard rumours that the legacy of France is hidden somewhere in the American West. Cavaignac's agent, Leander Sentor, is narrowing his pursuit on Arabella, Ab's sister, and the rest of the Cattons. The race is on as the Cattons seek to outmanoeuvre their pursuers and locate Web Catton's legacy. But first, the Cattons must renew the bonds of a family shattered by time and distance.
