Land in the Wyoming Territory is being given away and gold awaits. Out in the mountains men are striking it rich or at least rich enough to enjoy more than they once had. The law of the land is what you make it for now, Uncle Sam hasn't come calling fully as of yet. Everything is at a mans finger tips - save one thing - women. While former soldiers of both the Confederacy and the Union, wanted men, young men, old men, bosses, tyrants, and more are all making for the Claim Towns; not so many women are willing to make the journey. In a lawless land anything goes. So what is a man to do when in the best of towns men out number women 10 to 1? And in the worst of towns 200 to 1? He can either keep trekking to the local brothel and keep shelling out a kings ransom, but she ain't gonna shine yer boots or bake yer biscuits. Can either pray you strike it lucky with the local dentists daughter or you can write back East and see if you can't get yourself a Mail-Order Bride. Sounds crazy right? Well in a pre-tinder world, sometimes a man could only hope to find a wife in the classifieds right between Employment and For Sale. Océane is younger; the daughter of French Immigrants who is in the East doing what women try to do - survive with hope intact. She took shelter at the Hearst House after a particularly dark period in her life. With no money, no inheritance, and her family dead there is not much left for her in the east that she cares about and plenty she wants to get away from, including several in the very place she has taken shelter in. In order to do that she has to have a way out. So she did the only thing she could think of, she agreed to be a Picture-Bride. A photograph take, a small blurb written, to print it went out in the territories. She could only sit and wait, see what if anything would happen. Something did in-fact happen - the ad was answered; by several. The question is though - is the one she answered the right fit or did she just set herself up for disappointment?
