Bridgetown is a place filled with men and women whose ambitions drive them to infamy. Here, gunpowder, sweat, machine oil and greed serve as kindling to the fires of the mythic Old West.
Ever-feisty Susanna, and the two brothers who are in love with her—Jesse and Wayne Cole—are cast back into the time of their ancestors. They arrive in Bridgetown, and soon transform the world around them. As the Brothers Cole vie for Susanna's love and their own place in the pages of history, they remake the past in their own image: Wayne becomes a wealthy industrialist, equal parts Thomas Edison and Henry Ford; Jesse calls for a countercultural revolution against his robber-baron brother; and Susanna fights for her own glory in an age before women could even vote. But with their actions comes a grave threat from the mystical, mysterious Mr. Black: Abandon your aspirations, or destroy the world.
