Ruby McGavin isn't quite sure what she's doing in the small
town of Cardinal. After the death of her husband, Cole,
Ruby is shocked to learn from his will that she had
inherited part of a cattle ranch in the rustic grasslands
of Tokopah County, California. But she is even more
surprised to find out that the family he claimed died years
ago is very much alive.
With her own family history still haunting her, Ruby
arrives in town with her husband's ashes intending on
selling her part of the ranch back to the McGavins and
leaving town to start a new life. But as she comes to know
them-- in particular the handsome saddlemaker Lucas
McGavin -- Ruby learns even more surprising family secrets
about her departed husband and his family that make her
wonder if she ever really knew Cole.
Driven to uncover the whole story, Ruby tries to piece
together the lies she was told with the truths she isn't
sure she can believe -- and uncovers a legacy of pain and
denial that has pursued the McGavin family for too long...
