In the California Wilderness in May 1853, a crusty old miner, Ben Rumson, is conducting a make-shift funeral for a friend. Meanwhile his 16-year-old daughter Jennifer discovers gold dust. Ben claims the land and prospectors start flocking to the brand new town of Rumson. Two months later Rumson has a population of 400, all of whom are men except for Jennifer. Prospector Jake is waiting to save enough money to send for Cherry and her Fandango girls, while Jennifer senses the tension building in town. Julio Valveras, a handsome young miner forced to live and work outside of town because he is Mexican comes to town with dirty laundry and runs into Jennifer, who volunteers to do his laundry.   It is a story of dreamers and lovers coupled with great music.
