Set about 15 years after the world fell apart, a nomadic physician struggles to survive in a savage frontier of the poor and powerless, trying to balance her calling as a healer with the necessity of killing for survival. As a consequence, maybe she's become more skilled with her saber than she is with a scalpel, and she's trying to get out from under that reputation.
Doc has done everything she knows how to do to save Master Rogers’ life after his accidental poisoning. We’ll know by morning if she’s done enough. Meanwhile, in an effort to “do what the big guy would’ve done,” she goes to clear out the raiders’ camp.
There, she meets Chief Chuck Long ... who wants to have a word with her ... On the frontier, favors are currency. Promises are law. Without them, what have we got? What have we got to lash out and rebel against ...
... when word is bond and your oath was to DO NO HARM?
