With time running out, he’s given a desperate chance at freedom: haul gold from a remote mining camp before President Roosevelt confiscates all stockpiles. Teaming up with three other unlikely convicts—each with their own troubled pasts—he embarks on a perilous trek through rugged wilderness, pursued by guards and haunted by the weight of survival. Forced to rely on his wartime grit and ingenuity, Murphy must navigate treacherous terrain, hidden dangers, and his own demons—all while racing against time to save his child. A gripping tale of resilience set against the haunting beauty of America’s darkest hour. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
