Nurse Mirabel Findley has been fired for allegedly aiding a notorious outlaw’s escape from the clinic where she worked. Hoping to find a sympathetic shoulder, she flees to Red Gorge where her cousin is the town’s sheriff. The first person Mirabel meets is Deputy Micah Hansen who learns first-hand of her medical skills and urges her to stay in the mining town. Unfortunately, outlaw Danny McGowan has also arrived in Red Gorge determined to exonerate his brothers of a crime he claims they didn’t commit. He coerces Mirabel into helping him but in the process, he traps her and Micah in a perilous situation. The deputy and Mirabel must work together to escape and survive in order to see that justice is done.
