Description
"The ebony lifeblood of American industry and of mighty fortunes made and lost. In search of one of those black-gold fortunes, two bare-knuckle wildcatters dream, scheme, team up and square off in the make-or-break frenzy of a Texas boom town. As the oilmen and the women in their lives struggle through the personal upheaval of love and loyalties, wealth comes in a gusher and a rig bursts into an inferno that could turn dreams to dust"--Container.
