This is the story which relates the adventures of a young eastern couple who are looking for a change; they head west, to the young mountains of the Sierra Nevada in California.Jet planes have just started carrying commercial passengers, and radio was the only option for communication if the phone lines over the mountains were severed in one of the many magnificent storms that developed over those mountains.It was a time more closely aligned with the old west and the far west. There were roads and cars, but not on the scale of today. The information age was yet to come.As in all societies, there were good guys and bad guys, and it was harder back then for the good guys to keep track of the bad guys.So it came to pass that the lives of the young couple became intertwined with people who had nefarious pasts. On the other side of the ledger, the couple found allies in a number of hearty individuals. The wilderness of the Sierra Nevada was the stage where their opera would play., This is the story which relates the adventures of a young eastern couple who are looking for a change; they head west, to the young mountains of the Sierra Nevada in California.

The couple ventures into the wilderness. A group of bandits who have the impression that they know of a stash of gold in the hills follow them.So it cameto pass that the lives of the young couple became intertwined with people who had nefarious pasts. On the other side of the ledger, the couple found allies in several hearty individuals. A sheriff, a lady wrangler, a country couple, and an ancient 'Indian' play into the story, as well as the old miner who gave them the map to the gold mine. The wilderness of the Sierra Nevada was the stage where their opera would play., Frank and Sally hope to resolve their differences by relocating to the west coast. Frank is a well-off real estate developer. Once an athlete, his hedonistic lifestyle has relegated his sports to golf and boating, and he is not as fit as he once was. His wife, Sally, has become disillusioned by his lust for money and expensive toys. They travel to the Sierra Nevada to find an amenable co-existence in the mountains, but Frank gets lured into gold fever by an old miner who spins yarns for drinks. Sally coaxes Frank to venture into the wilderness to curtail her husband's predilection toward cupidity, but a small band of bandits has the impression that the couple knows of a stash of gold in the hills. They follow the couple and track them as Frank and Sally try to elude the band. Friends they have made become aware of their disappearance and try to come to their aid. Their allies include Alice, a lady wrangler, Nellie and Claire, storekeepers at a country mercantile, Brewster, an out-of-jurisdiction sheriff, Mortimer, the old miner himself; and an unseen ally. The unseen ally is a nomad who roams in the backcountry of the vast Sierra Nevada wilderness who is a legend to the tribes.
