ONE MAN'S PAST; A TOWN THAT WOULDN'T LISTEN
Truman and Gracie Jackson have been outstanding ranchers near Paradise, Colorado, for many years. But they rarely discussed their past, which was rather mysterious. One day Truman realizes his life is not whole, and cannot be until he makes amends for the life he lived when he was young. And with that, he tells the town about it, and about how he intends to make things right.
Only the town doesn't listen, and everything suddenly turns against Truman and Gracie and their children. What began as an effort to heal a wrong ends up a nightmare for the young couple. But Truman doesn't abandon his effort, and accepts whatever fate has in store for him.
