A murder. A land grab. A town on fire. The explosive return of Nick Drake.
Teaming up to solve a grisly murder thrusts Nick Drake and Sheriff Pudge Warbler into the middle of a vicious battle between developers and ranchers over a beautiful valley. When the lawmen close in on the killer, their hometown of No Mountain is set ablaze in a deadly attempt to scare them off.
The fire forces a reckoning and Nick and Pudge must make a choice. Will they honor their oath to follow the letter of the law in the pursuit of justice? Or will they damn the consequences and use any means necessary to bring the guilty to heel no matter how powerful and rich they may be?
Whatever their decision, one thing is certain. While the Wild West will live on in Harney County, Oregon, not everyone in this fight will survive.
