Synopsis

Jess Tyler, a staunchly religious silver miner, has been left alone out in the desert to guard an all-but-depleted mine. His dreary life is livened up considerably by the arrival of his long-lost daughter, Kady. The less-than-innocent young woman has an ulterior motive in locating her father: she wants him to reopen the silver mine and help her exact revenge on the mine's owner, a spoiled rich kid who impregnated and abandoned her.
