Synopsis: In this action-packed new series, a rascally pair of prospectors run for their lives from a gun-toting posse—and discover a million ways to die in San Francisco&’s criminal underworld . . . Charlie Dawson and his partner Clem don&’t consider themselves bad guys. But they definitely made a bad error in judgment on a gold mine deal—turns out there was no gold—and ended up in a shootout with some very angry claim jumpers. Now a posse is in hot pursuit of Charlie and Clem. The unlucky pair hightail it to San Francisco, where they try to blend into the notorious red-light district known as Barbary Coast. Another bad decision on their part . . . San Francisco is one wild place. Horses get stolen, folks get shanghaied, and Charlie and Clem get offers from some very shady characters with money to burn, so the boys can&’t refuse. A big boss banker wants to hire them to find a crate that was lost in a train derailment. Inside is a priceless golden spike created for the opening ceremony of a new rail line. Sounds like easy money to Charlie and Clem. Problem is, they&’re not the only ones looking for it. A vicious gang of outlaws, a cold-blooded gunman—and a scheming femme fatale—are on a direct collision course with the hard-to-kill duo . . . And they&’re all heading for one very dead end.
