The story is being told by the now old Victor Way. At present he
has been chewed by a grizzly bear and is stranded in a cabin in the
wilderness with no supplies. While waiting for spring and his
wounds to heal, he is reliving his first trip to the untamed west.
He knew nothing of survival as he had been in an orphanage until
age 14. The year is 1879 when he meets Charlie a shady man, who is
in the business of fulfilling jobs in Wyoming. He has no problem
lying to find people to sign his contract to fill jobs for mining,
cowboys, school teachers and especially whores to keep the single
men happy and working. Vick signs a contract along with four whores
and a school teacher. Vick befriends an overweight man, Oliver, and
decides to be his keeper. Little does he know, he himself will need
Oliver to save him time and time again. Oliver keeps to himself as
he feels no one likes him. He knows more than he lets on and has
his own money. Oliver never forgets Vick for being the only person
to ever care for him and will spend the rest of his life hoping to
keep him alive. Miss Shelly is a fun loving gal and knows nothing
but being a whore. She truly enjoys her life and is afraid she
could loose life as she knows it. She has her eye on the innocent
Vick. Miss Kelly has been let down by her husband and left him only
taking her horse and one eyed dog. The only job available was being
a whore. She does her job with a six shooter and takes guff from
anyone. Miss Janice is elusive and just goes along doing what is
handed her and asks no questions even if she knows it is wrong. No
one really knows what is in her heart and she doesn't want to talk
about her past. Miss Ella just likes money and swindles men out of
all she can put her hands on. Jenny has an education and is the
good girl of the bunch, but as life goes all her good intentions
don't pan out. She trusts and loves everyone she meets and gives
all she has to her friends. She and Vick share a big surprise.
Walter is a big fun player and without him the gang would be
obligated entirely to Charlie. He has just what they need to lead
them down the path of freedom from Charlie. As they travel across
Wyoming horse back and in covered wagons they encounter many hard
times but manage to make life long friends with one another.
