The country doctors of our forefathers left us messages of hard times and endurance.

With four generations of country doctors in his past, Allen Patterson took a different path. After living in London until high school graduation, he must move to Chicago, in America. His mother and the death of his father had a great influence on him. His goal was medical school, but he was unable to do so financially. He turned to the FBI, instead, to earn the money to further his goal of becoming a doctor. Looking forward to fitting in, Allen took the nickname of Cowboy. With a British accent and western apparel, the FBI knew him, mostly, only by his nickname.

As Allen worked his way through murder, explosions, contagious killing diseases, and terrorists, he ended up in Texas working a case for the FBI. Little did he count on the high cost of danger and falling in love. It's strange how love always finds you, when you're not looking for it.
