As an escaped slave, Roland Neville came to the small, Colorado town of Blue Spruce to start a new life for himself and his family. The wary townspeople tolerate the large man because of his talent working iron in the forge and allow him a homestead. But with little family and very few friends, the farrier's life is a lonely one. Coming home after a long day in town, Roland finds an injured silver mustang in his barn. He lets the animal spend the night, only to find a handsome Native American named Nakas in the mustang's place the next morning. Nakas reveals that his true form is a centaur with spiritual powers, charged to protect his people and their ancestral lands. From two different cultures, Roland and Nakas form a bond through the common ties that affect both their people. Together,the two men must heal the scars of the past in order to save the people they care about in the present. Will they be able to create a life together, or will their duty to others keep them apart?
