Don Manor is injured and grieving when he meets Callum McGeachin, the small Scotsman with an impish grin and a warm heart. Callum helps him to recover, and Don grows close to his new friend, even though there is something uncanny about him. Callum has a gift for healing, and a power that others can sense. The two drift a while through Colorado, until they meet a widow with a sick child, a run-down ranch, and neighbours who want her land. They decide to help: Don because he hates bullies, and Callum because he's fallen in love at first sight. Rustlers are the first problem, but trouble with the neighbouring Kershaws begins to increase. Don must grow and find something new in himself to help Callum defend his love, no matter what the cost to themselves.
