Dane Averill is on a mission to find the man who falsely branded him a killer and made him a wanted man.
Encountering Ed Skinner's men - dead set on murdering anyone who threatens Skinner's claim to ownership of land - he ends up killing two in self-defence and finds himself hunted.
But he is still intent on heading to El Amaro, where he's sure he will find the man who is responsible for putting a price on his head. Arriving in town, Dane faces intense hostility. News of his encounter with Skinner's men has set the tone.
Meanwhile Clem Keeler, Dane's accuser, is causing him further problems, but he's distracted by the trouble in El Amaro. He teams up with Maller, a local land-owner, to defend his ranch. But with the sheriff in Skinner's pocket, they must do it alone.
As the battle to save the ranch intensifies, Dane discovers that the sheriff's son is none other than his arch nemesis, Clem Keeler. Is the sheriff involved? Dane must tread very carefully if he is to stay alive long enough to bring the pair to justice...
