Cody meets Logan Haggard, the local sheriff, and takes up on his offer to be his deputy.
Everything goes well and Cody feels that life is finally getting better for him, especially after he meets the beautiful, dark-haired Maria.


That is, until the day notorious outlaws Owen Hendrix and Travis Pitt ride into town to wreak havoc and rob the local bank.

A hefty bounty is offered for their capture.

His only chance is to hook up with a pair of experienced bounty hunters. Will their combined effort be enough to stop these ruthless outlaws once and for all? If they fail, more innocent people will die. Will Cody be able to find peace and settle down?
