Howdy!

Eyrie was once a glittering mining boomtown, its streets packed with dance halls, saloons, and the clink of champagne in tin cups. After the gold ran dry, the town fell into silence, its wooden cabins sagging and the High Jinks Dance Hall gathering dust. Now only wind and weeds stir through empty windows, hinting at a past that refuses to be forgotten.

Into that desolation stumble Jake Trotter and Bill Weaver, two men whose bitterness has stretched back through generations of rivalry. With the last hard‑rock prospector gone, the two find themselves the sole keepers of a town that no longer remembers its own name. Their uneasy greeting—“Howdy, Jake”—sets the stage for a tense standoff that will test whether old grudges can survive the quiet of an abandoned frontier.
