Story

Lá ela encontra seu ajudante, o capitão Denny Roark. Roark é um jovem arrojado que lembra Julia completamente seu amor perdido. Logo ela descobre que é realmente capaz de amar, mas é com Roark com quem ela se apaixona, não seu marido. Enquanto a guerra com as tribos locais esquenta e à medida que Wister ganha consciência do romance não consumado que cresce entre sua esposa e seu melhor amigo, a tragédia se esconde.
