Problems beset the Doctor and Evelyn Smythe as they travel by train to the Wild West town of Fortune. A young woman is investigating the murder of her father nine years earlier, and a wanted poster indicates that the Doctor is the killer!
With the TARDIS lost to them and the law on their tail, can the travellers unravel the mystery — or will Rachel Ann Donovan take her revenge first?

- The story was told from Evelyn's perspective. After AUDIO: Solitaire featuring the Eighth Doctor's companion Charley Pollard, this is the second Companion Chronicle to star a companion created by Big Finish Productions.

- Evelyn complains to the Doctor that, because of him, she is making a habit of jumping from trains. (AUDIO: The Nowhere Place)
- Many years later, the Seventh Doctor and Evelyn would reminisce about "leaping from steam trains in the Wild West." (AUDIO: A Death in the Family)
- The Doctor previously visited the Wild West in TV: The Gunfighters and would later do so again in PROSE: Peacemaker and TV: A Town Called Mercy.
