When United States Senator Barron Maynwaring returns to his family and his
beloved ranch, the Greenbrier, much has changed in Carson City. Family
friends have taken to gambling. Cattle rustlers have increased activity
around the massive ranch. A mysterious stranger, Giddeon Van Thorn, has arrived
in town on secretive business. A political opponent and the press have launched
attacks on Barron and his family. When Dan Arkin, the Maynwaringss neighbor, is
murdered, suspicion immediately turns to Jeremy Foster, a loner who had threatened
Arkin after a crooked card game. When the posse led by the Maynwarings turns into
a lynch mob, against their will, and Van Thorns men hang Jeremy Foster, Barrons
daughter Mary Catherine, the Carson City solicitor, launches an investigation of her
own hoping to learn why the strangers wanted Foster dead.
As Van Thorn attempts to buy up property in Carson City for a massive redevelopment,
Barrons son, Stokes, a city councilman, attempts to block the slick businessmans
plan that seems more than meets the eye. As they seek answers to Van Thorns true
intentions and dark background, the Maynwarings are stunned to learn that Jeremy
Fosters brother has arrived in Carson City seeking revenge for his brothers untimely
death. As bodies mount and the Maynwarings are bushwhacked, it becomes apparent
that a sinister game of chance will determine the fate of the Greenbrier and the future
of Carson City yet in this high stakes game of chance nothing is as it seems!
