   Summary

   I really just wanted to visit the filming locations of Dad's favorite Westerns and take a few photos with his old camera. Instead, I stumbled through a cave in the Alabama Hills and came out the other side in a world that looks suspiciously like Red Dead Redemption. Complete with a gang of armed outlaws who pretty quickly peg me as crazy, suicidal, or probably both.
   One of them especially. A certain Arthur Morgan, whose patience with me is running distinctly thin. His faith in Dutch, on the other hand? Bottomless. For now.
   See, I'm about six months early. Before Blackwater. Before pretty much everything I thought I knew. What I have that they don't: I know what's coming. Who dies. Who betrays who. Which decisions change everything — and which ones are better left unmade.
   What I don't know: whether I have any right to change any of it. Or whether I'd just make everything worse.
   And whether I can keep from driving Arthur Morgan completely insane in the process. That'd be a start.
