Compelled by tragic events to abandon his native home in Scotland, Old Stewart, dedicated and determined, embarks upon a long and arduous journey with his remarkable dog, hoping to rejoin those few remaining family members who immigrated to America before him. Along the way, the old Scotsman and his dog touch the lives of others so indelibly, that their memory is kept alive for generations to follow. Richard Hooton weaves a tale that is filled with heart-rending emotion and equal measures of levity and suspense as it time-slips through the years and across the vast plains of the Great American West to a place called Soldier Hollow.
