Aries Smallwood, a woman trained by one of Philadelphia's top physicians, finds herself unable to secure a medical position because of gender barriers. After her father's death, she inherits gambling debts and a younger brother in need. Desperate to support them, she responds to an advertisement seeking a wife for a Montana rancher. Though she lies to the rancher, believing she can keep her medical aspirations close to home, she learns that the rancher has deceived her from the start. As the train pulls into the frontier, Aries realizes there is no turning back—her journey to Montana will test her hopes, her loyalty to her brother, and her desire to practice medicine in a world that seldom accepts women doctors.
