The 1890s. The United States is suffering the worst economic depression in its history. A factory job would pay one dollar for a ten hour day, if one was lucky enough to find one. Seeking salvation, the country goes on a monetary gold standard. Tens of thousands of men are caught up in a national hysteria - the search for gold. Marie, rebellious daughter of a noveau riche, domineering mother, and Jon, charismatic son of moderate means immigrants meet. Both facing a predestined, circumscribed life neither wants.
