Lost In Dodge is about a young boy named Daryl who travels to Dodge City with his father, mother and little sister, Shelly Lynn.

At the first available moment, his mother takes his sister and abandons him, taking the train to somewhere east. Later that night his father is killed, leaving him alone in a town he doesn't know.

He's taken in by the kindly blacksmith Merle Wilson who, having no children of his own, raises Daryl through the loveable antics of childhood. Though Daryl tries to live the life of a normal boy, there is something about his appearance that registers shock in the eyes of those meeting him for the first time. Regardless, there is someone for everyone and he finds his love in Stephanie Rose. Together they build a life that is the envy of all.

Sixteen years later Daryl's sister, Shelly Lynn, journeys west in search of her brother. At her mother's death bed she learned what really happened that day in Dodge City and has vowed to take thattruth to the one who deserves it the most and also teach him of the legacy to which he belongs.
