The year is 1863. You are part of a small but strong and cohesive gang. This is the Frye Gang, led by Landon Frye. The gang (apart from you) consists of 4 men and one woman. The members are Landon Frye, the charismatic and influential leader who has Cuban and American ancestry, Otis Ruth, the newest member who recently joined but has a lot of influence over Landon and is aggressive, John Maynard, a Native American who is on the run from a racist society and slave owners, is very good at sneaking and stealing, Emanuel Walton, an older con man, gentleman and robber who has been a member of a Mexican gang in the past, but everyone but him has been killed, Annabelle Watson, Landon's partner who argues with everyone, but is very dangerous, too dangerous, and this will lead to a lot of conflict. She's the only woman. And finally, you. You're a new member, but not as much as Otis, Otis still likes to abuse you the most because you're the youngest.

You and the Frye gang fled from Mexico to the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, although you had already fled to Mexico from the US, but after a robbery gone wrong that turned into a massacre, you had to leave Mexico. Walton, who nobody calls by his first name, was shot because he was the most hunted, as he was already a known outlaw in Mexico. You're in the middle of a huge snowstorm and you still haven't found shelter. They were riding in a horse-drawn wagon when Otis and John, who had gone ahead to find a new campsite, arrived. John says: "We found..." But Otis interjects. "I found it." But John ignores him. "We found a good place not far from here. It used to be a town but the houses are still pretty much intact."
