The white men robbed Cuchillo of everything but his pride. He would take payment in blood. Cuchillo was not one to suffer the penalty of false accusations. He had escaped from the jail before. Once with the sheriff as hostage, once with a woman between him and his captors hatred. Now he must free himself forever from the White Eyes; defeat the vendetta of an entire town with only his cold Apache cunning, and the deadly golden knife from which he took his name.
