The true story of a Slovenian peasant boy who becomes a concert bassoonist and must flee Paris when the First World War begins a Viennese kitchen maid who receives money from a mysterious benefactor and off she goes to America, a scrappy gold prospector who faces off against one of the most powerful men in the state, and a girl who grows up in a Wild West saloon. Follow their journeys as they intersect from peasant farms in Austria to Imperial Vienna and the glittering Paris opera, to the American West––the fledgling Montana smelter town of East Helena, the Flathead Indian Reservation, the notorious copper metropolis of Butte, the Slavic enclave of East Butte, and the fertile desert of eastern Washington.
