In 1862, Nevada, P.K. Pinkerton, a 12-year-old Native American boy, is in grave danger. His adoptive parents have been murdered, and three ruthless outlaws are after him, seeking his medicine bag. However, this bag only contains a letter, which is actually the title deed to a silver mine, potentially making its owner the richest man in Nevada. P.K. flees to Virginia City, a city full of vices, where he will learn that no one can be trusted, not even white doves. After the murder of his adoptive parents, P.K. Pinkerton receives an unexpected inheritance that awakens the envy of many, and he must devise ways to survive in the harsh Wild West.
