More DescriptionAfter years as a professional gambler-and a deadly shootout on a riverboat casino-Tom Calvert and his young protege, Asher Smith, have survived an arduous journey across the frontier to Friendly Field, Idaho. The bucolic Quaker community welcomes them with open arms, and soon Tom is courting a widow and learning, to his surprise, to enjoy the quiet life.
