1844 - The Alamo is not forgotten and America and Mexico are on the brink of war.
A troop of forty hardened mountain men surge through the dust of the Mojave Desert on a vital mission. Their scout, Gringo Wade, finds bloody evidence that fierce Indians are on the war path. Led by the merciless war leader Asesino, the band of Apaches have taken captives. Gringo is ordered in pursuit but he comes across something unexpected in the desert wasteland. A secret so important that it could upset the delicate balance of power between America and the Mexican Republic.
To Gringo and the mountain men, a face-off is inevitable. Not only with the Mexican military but also with the roused southern tribes.... all of them willing to fight and die for the prize.
