A FAMILY MUST UNITE TO SOLVE THE STRANGE LEGACY OF THEIR FATHER. In a desparate attempt to unite his family, patriarch Giles Duncombe devised a scheme where his five children must join together in order to solve the riddle that reveals the location of a vast portion of his wealth. Events that happen in England in 1871, a failed business venture, a secret love affair, and the plotting of an unknown villain, drastically alter Duncombe's plan and shape the lives of the family for generations to come. The story chronicles the adventures of the Duncombes from mid-19th century England to the praires of South Dakota in the early 20th century.
