Galloway's Gamble

 

Gambling brothers Jamey and Jake Galloway ride trails, rails, and riverboats on a rollicking odyssey through the Old West, seeking their fortune at poker tables from New Orleans to 'Frisco. While  Jamey prefers being a live coward to a dead hero, brash big brother Jake rarely backs down from a fight.
 

When their Texas hometown is threatened by land-grabbing cattle king Wilhelm Krieg and shady banker Silas Atwood, Jamey and Jake face long odds in the most desperate gamble of their lives: Can they cook up a scheme to outfox dirty-dealing scoundrels and save Serenity Falls from ruin — without getting themselves killed?

   

Inspired by high-spirited classics like Maverick, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Silverado, and The Sting Galloway’s Gamble is a timeless tale about the never-ending David vs. Goliath battle against greed and corruption, as relevant today as it was in 1873!
