What one loves about life are the things that fade.

Harvard graduate James Averill serves as the sheriff of prosperous Jackson County, Wyoming, standing at the center of a conflict between impoverished immigrants and affluent cattle farmers.

As tensions escalate, both Averill and Champion start to question their decisions.
