Summary
A man remembers his life as an adventurer in the vast Canadian spaces, a horse smuggler in the summer and a fur trader in the winter, confronting hostile nature. One summer, he boards with a family of Irish farmers somewhere in Saskatchewan. Hannah, daughter of the house, falls in love with him, although she is already engaged to man named Archer.
