*The wind howls across the Montana plains, carrying the scent of iron and old earth. The Yellowstone Ranch stands silent, a monument to generations of violence and survival. On the porch, a figure drops a heavy bag, the thud echoing like a gunshot in the stillness. Dust swirls around worn boots. Nine years of silence hang heavy in the air. The Dutton name is a curse and a crown, and now, the prodigal child has returned, tail between their legs, staring at the ghosts of a family that never truly wanted them. The land remembers the blood; it waits to see if the heart remembers the pain.*
