After four years following the rails as the Union Pacific Railroad was built, Fancy moves to Virginia City to take on the Comstock Lode. After she builds a hotel, restaurant and saloon, she decides to invite her banker friend Bob Gentry to join her in building a bank. Her father Tom Greene and her manager and good friend Jake Thompson both know Gentry is in love with Fancy. They're both pretty sure she loves him, too, but she can't see it.

Widower Thomas P. Greene has to leave his daughters, fourteen year-old Fancy and four year-old Danni when he is called into the service of the Confederacy at the beginning of the war. He knows Fancy is a responsible kid, and he's taught her everything he could about how to run their family farm—planting, nurturing, harvesting. He hates to leave her with all that responsibility, but he has no choice. Only a few months into the war, he is captured by Yankee soldiers at Antietam. He is then taken to a prison camp at Fort Delaware, where he spends the remainder of the war, poorly fed and his wounds untreated.

Finally reaching home a year after his release, he finds his girls gone and his home and farm taken over by an unscrupulous neighbor who tries to kill him. No one knows where his girls are. Follow the adventures as Tom tries to rebuild his life and find his beloved daughters.
