After Daniel Digby stumbles upon a gold of pot, he has to decide whether to peddle the contraband for a pot of gold or dump it in the Rogue River and forget the trouble it could cause. But the potential payoff from a sale could help save an old woman from dire circumstances, a woman who happens to be related to someone he realizes he loves.
So, as he and his friend Paddy MacNaughton, who could also use the money nobly, try to live their daily blue collar lives in the engulfing smoke of a wildfire raging in the nearby mountains, a threatening conflagration over which they have no control, Digby wrestles with his choices about breaking the law, his quixotic notions, and his desire to console and love the enchanting Esperanza Milagro.
Cursed with a curiosity about human nature that persistently asks why, constantly prodded to piece together into some semblance of order the chaotic and seemingly random events that constitute his life, and torn between his desire to escape society and his need to participate in it, Digby works, runs, plays Tetris, and contends with God about theodicy, life's absurdities, and free will.
En route to a solution to the challenges he faces, Digby encounters the diverse citizens of Greenwood in all their personal failings and glory, characters who could be from any town anywhere, characters who call into question his own beliefs, life philosophy, and faith.
Daniel Digby, like so many people, is just a guy trying to get by the best he can, trying to make the most of what he's given, trying to live a decent life.
