David Ross was born on a remote farm. Raised amid toil and neglect, every day was a battle against poverty and monotony, until David began to dream of another life.

The tales of travelers about the gold rush gave him hope. With a few savings gathered from working in the fields, he secretly left the farm and bought a small plot of land promised to be rich in gold.

Now he lives in a makeshift shack, with few tools and almost exhausted resources. His faith is unshakable. Now he was sitting on a rock eating a hard sandwich, taking a break from the hard work.
