In the heart of Glasgow, Scotland, Samuel Fiddes navigates a life defined by hardship and responsibility, caring for his younger sister amidst the city's tenements. His world, starkly contrasted with Hailey MacIntyre's privileged upbringing, is irrevocably altered when he saves her brother. An undeniable connection sparks between them, blossoming into secret meetings and stolen moments of profound love.
Their fragile world is shattered when the City of Glasgow Bank collapses, leading to Hailey's father's impulsive relocation of their family to Seattle. Driven by Hailey's parting words, "Remember, Washington Territory," Samuel embarks on a perilous journey, armed with little more than his resolve. He leaves behind all he knows, seeking Hailey and a brighter future for his sister in a frontier town rumored to hold both opportunity and hidden dangers.
