The story revolves around Gerald Lane, a young boy of sixteen, who lives with his ill father in a cabin in the foothills of Colorado. The narrative explores themes of sacrifice, integrity, and the moral obligations of individuals, particularly focusing on a significant debt of honor owed to Gerald's father by a wealthy man named Bradley Wentworth. The opening of the book sets a poignant tone, introducing us to Gerald's life marked by the challenges of caring for his sick father, who reveals a troubling past involving Wentworth. The father shares the burdens of a great sacrifice he made years ago for Wentworth, indicating a looming need for justice and restitution that weighs heavily on both father and son. As they discuss the hope for extending Gerald's future through Wentworth's promised aid, the reader is drawn into a world of conflict between integrity and betrayal, laying the groundwork for the emotional and moral struggles that will unfold as the story progresses.
