β¦ Synopsis
In the Rocky Mountain fur trade of the early 1800s, the intense rivalry between the powerful Hudson's Bay Company and the North-West Company is complicated by the arrival of ILONA BAPTISTE--a lovely and much-desired MοΏ½tis maiden who could become the catalyst for a bloody trade war between two companies. Young trader GARTH CAMERON and the brutal H.B.C. woods boss LOUIS SAVARD both want Ilona, and end up in thrilling, pursuit through the Rocky Mountain wilderness, with Ilona the prize. Terrified of one pursuer, and in danger of falling for the other, the brave young woman is dependent upon her native cunning and survival skills to save herself and the man she comes to love.
