It's the late 1850's, and the Rocky Mountain Gold Rush is going strong. There are many mining operations in search of the elusive metal, and one of these, sat in the southern reaches of the Colorado Rockies, is working hard to find some. They seem to be down on their luck, however. The group keeps losing members due to a series of unfortunate accidents. Some of them think there's more to it than just "bad luck," however. Perhaps these aren't just accidents, but instead a series of murders with an unknown person behind them.
