The long, dusty cattle-drive from Texas to Kansas is over, but as Avery Carson stands in the warm light of a Dodge City morning, he is shrouded in a dark cloud of grief. Now that the toil and ever-present dangers of the drive are behind him, tragic events back home rise up as poignant as ever. He cant go back; he has neither the courage nor the strength of will to do so. Instead, he leaves everything he knows behind and strikes out into the wilds of the frontier wilderness to lose himself.

When Wes Freeman loses his place at the hands of a crooked banker, he sets out to get back what is rightfully his, and a chance meeting with an outlaw band provides the opportunity. In the aftermath of a bloody gun battle, Wes learns the far reaching effects of his impulsive actions. Thrown headlong into a series of events he never could have predicted, his love for a young woman whose life was forever changed by his recklessness, proves to be the catalyst that helps him do the right thing regardless of the cost.
