North of forsaken

the long version

On his way to visit his old mentor, Maple Jack, Roamer makes a brief supply stop in the raw, flyblown town of Forsaken, Wyoming. There he encounters a man from his past, who possesses the deed to a valuable ranch. The type of property people kill for. Roamer begrudgingly agrees to escort the young man and a shifty gold digger of a woman deep into the Bitterroot Mountains in search of the mysterious ranch. Fearing Roamer has met with disaster, Maple Jack tracks him into the mountains and joins in the quest. But as they make their way to the ranch, they realize nothing is as it seems, as lies layer on lies and bloodshed becomes all too common. If they can't stop the killing, Roamer and Maple Jack realize they will die in the cold little ranch valley...well north of Forsaken.
