Silver Hart, Colorado lives and dies by the coal mining, and when the railroad bypasses them, their livelihood is in peril. However, the man from the railroad says that for a hefty sum of money they can create a spur line, saving the town. A hefty sum that the town does not have. Their only hope is a former gambler, Asa 'Big Red' Newcombe. The town pools their money so Newcombe can enter the big poker game. Winning the big pot carries as much prestige as it does money, but his goal is simple: get the money and save his town. Newcombe's opponents include wealthy ranchers, tinhorn gamblers, and men that he recognises as outright outlaws. And many of them will stop at nothing to make their fortune, whether they have to cheat, drug, or kill to make it happen.

The people of Meridian, Colorado, live and die by coal mining, and when the railroad bypasses them, their livelihood is in peril. However, they discover that for a hefty sum of money they can create a spur line and save the town. A hefty sum that the town does not have.
Their only hope is former gambler Asa Newcombe. The townspeople pool their money so Newcombe can enter the big poker game in Golden Junction, and as much as he wants to leave his past life behind, the whole town is counting on him. Winning the big pot will burnish his reputation, but his goal is simple: Get the money and get out alive. His opponents include wealthy ranchers, tinhorn gamblers, and men who are outright criminals—and many of them will stop at nothing to make their fortune, even if they have to cheat, drug, or kill to do so....
