In 1897, the discovery of gold in the bYukon has the world buzzing with excitement, and thousands of prospectors swarm to the north seeking riches. Liza Peterson's family sees the gold rush as their chance to make a fortune by moving their general store from Vancouver to Dawson City. For Constable Ben Turner of the North-West Mounted Police, upholding the law in a place overrun with guns, liquor, prostitutes, and thieves may be an opportunity to escape his dark past to be the man of integrity he always wanted to be. But neither is fully prepared for the forbidding north. As Liza's family nears the mountain's peak, a catastrophe strikes with fatal consequences, and not even Ben can help. Liza finally reaches Dawson City to find herself in a different kind of peril. Meanwhile Ben is wracked with guilt over the accident on the trail, wanting to make things right. But just as their love begins to grow, new dangers arise that threaten to separate the couple forever.
