The July 1880 visit of former president Ulysses S. Grant to
the mining community of Leadville, Colorado, sparks this twisty tale of murder and
ambition. Saloon co-owner Inez Stannert is preoccupied with divorcing her missing
husband, her affair with the local minister, and her secret business partnership
with the local madam - when one of the madam’s prostitutes is suddenly killed. Eager
to protect her investment, Inez begins to look into the case, confronting local
politicians, zealous journalists, a prostitute with family obligations and hopes for
a better life, and a ruthless city tax collector - appropriately nicknamed “The
Hatchet.”
