Recently diagnosed with a terminal disease, Bruce Campbell unexpectedly finds himself the owner of a small valley in the Canadian Rocky Mountains as the result of a bequest from his grandfather. In Canada, Bruce arrives at "Campbell's Kingdom" to find its existence under threat from the construction of a new dam. Convinced that his grandfather was right and that the valley may be rich in oil, Bruce must prove it. Standing in his way is a corrupt construction contractor. However, Bruce is ably and enthusiastically assisted by love interest, Jean Lucas, and some other new-found friends. Conflicts abound with a masterful weaving of plots and subplots.
