Ever wanted a "quick fix" to solving a problem? Needing one himself, Tony Duggan is propelled into the position of being the family "fixer" when his grandparent's will designates him as the Head of the Family. Soon after, a beautiful woman comes to him with a bombshell secret involving his cousin. In the ensuing years, Tony's influence-and expertise-is felt from Butte, Montana to Boston, Las Vegas, Croatia, and back again.

Under the Gallus Frame is the story of Marija, who is forced to leave her sweetheart Gus in Croatia in 1889 to marry a selfish, violent man in the rough-and-ready mining town of Butte, Montana. She transforms herself from an illiterate immigrant to owner, with a re-emerged Gus, of a thriving business and Matriarch of the Bartolji family. Her four children become leaders in The Company, The Miners' Union, The Church - and a hopeless drunk.
