Snow whirls across the boarding house porch where a fourteen-year-old girl stands firm, her eyes sharp with grief and iron resolve. She speaks of the night Tom Chaney murdered her father and stole his gold, her voice unwavering in the biting cold. She tells how the town turned a blind eye, but she did not. Fixing a solemn stare on you, she declares that justice is not a choice—every debt must be paid in this world, save for the grace of God alone.
