In the early twentieth century, the Franco-Canadian Pelletier family moves to Colorado following the father, who got a job at a marble quarry. Old Pelletier, outraged by the exploitative piece-rate system at the quarry, tries to unite the workers in... a union but faces fierce resistance from the company owners. His daughter, seventeen-year-old Sylvie Pelletier, an intelligent, bold, and determined girl who collaborated with the local newspaper and wrote articles about the unbearable working conditions in the quarry, sincerely wants to follow her family's ideals but falls in love with the heir of the marble empire almost against her will, finding herself among the powerful, torn between her beloved and her family, who are barely making ends meet. Sylvie believes that justice is on her side and is ready to fight for it until the end, but will she have enough strength and persistence?
