So he strikes a deal with a man, agreeing to pay off his debt in exchange for his daughter's hand in marriage. But as the days progress and his feelings for the mysterious Rose Cartridge progresses along with them, Jeffery soon finds that his heart is not the only thing he stands to lose to Rose... ...he stands to lose her completely.
