May 29 1899, After a failed bank robbery, a small gang of outlaws and innocents fled north into the icy mountains. Shivered to the bone, one man, Arthur Morgan is sent ahead to look for some shelter from the bitter storm slicing at their flesh. Arthur returns to the convoy of wagons and horses and greets them with positive news...
"I found a place where we can get some shelter!" He mentioned "follow me it's not too far!".
Upon arrival, they discover a small isolated mining village by the name of Colter.
"This will do just fine" said Dutch, the leader of the gang.
"Rally up the wagons! The women and child into that shack there and the men will be split into two different houses!"
A few minutes pass and everyone is managing to warm up in the freezing temperatures.
"Everyone ok?" Asked Lenny the youngest of the group,
"Yeah thanks for askin' hey why don't you get some rest you'll need it after all this." Said Arthur laying in his makeshift bed.
"Goodnight all!" Bellowed Arthur.
"Goodnight."
"Goodnight."
"Goodnight."
Most of the members responded, all but one he sat there facing the wall keeping deathly silent. His name was Micah and he was a troublemaker.
