A self-reliant settler and his sister carve a farm from the prairie while he wrestles with ambition and an unexpected romantic attachment to a woman of higher social rank. Tensions with neighboring settlers, financial strains, and a treacherous associate escalate into legal and personal conflicts that test his integrity. He confronts natural disasters including blizzard, drought, and fires while adopting progressive farming methods and enacting bold plans to save the homestead.
