In McCarthy, Neil Darish is on the brink of reopening the Motherlode mine for tourism, but a new arrival puts Neil's empire at risk. And to grow his family's farm, Jeremy Keller begins a new venture, and an unlikely alliance is formed by two rivals.

Neil seeks help from McCarthy's unlikeliest resident to pursue his mine tour project. Tim gets a reminder of home when Mark pays him a surprise visit.

Neil's project is over budget, so his partner moves to push him out of his oldest business. Jeremy and his boys go on a supply run and return with Jason Lobo.
