Will worked hard all his life until he had a herd to sell. On the way everything was stolen; lock, stock, and barrel. He couldn't even find the fence posts when he returned home.

But, the road was long, bloody, and dangerous to the final confrontation in a town he'd only heard of. Eastern Arizona in the 1880's.
