Without warning, Dr. Bryce Miller, a young doctor from Boston, inherits a large, historic cattle ranch in northen New Mexico from a wealthy uncle she barely knew. She flies out to sell The Sun to the highest bidder but things get complicated when a body is found murdered on the ranch. Is it a warning meant for her?
Meanwhile, she must choose among a colorful cast of suitors who want to turn the working ranch into either: an upsacle housing development with golf courses, an oil-and-gas field, a nature preserve, a casino resort, the underground home for a doomsday cult, or the plaything of a shadowy business mogul. Each is willing to pay a large sum of money - and maybe do anything - to get The Sun.
She has seven days to decide.
