When Star McCallister and his gang break out of the Dodge City jail, there’s hell to pay. And it looks like McCallister’s half-brother, former Texas Ranger John Checker, will be the one paying. McCallister and his gang murder two of Checker’s friends, burn the homestead of his sister, kill her husband, and take her two small children into the wild Indian Territory. Checker knows it’s up to him to set things right-and he knows his half-brother will be waiting for him in the wilderness. He’s counting on a final confrontation with the ruthless McCallister. But there’s something he hasn’t counted on, a dark secret he never expected-a secret that could very well kill him.
