Slim has come home, and he has brought with him three men who has sided with the Siringo family to eradicate the menace known as Devlin Wade. However, the way to do that is still in question. Simply shooting the man, as Will Ferguson has suggested, is still under advisement, but it is against the law providing there is no proof of his wrongdoing. The man cannot simply be tied to anything illegal. Everything, at least on paper, looks to be above board and legal as the day is long. Slim has lived through Apache raids, as well as, troublesome winds that seems to be blowing over the land. With the country in turmoil of a civil war looming, and Devlin Wade harassing Comanche, Oklahoma, there is no peace anywhere.

There is a howling wind blowing the spirit of ill will towards civil war. Despite the chill in the air of this civil unrest that may lead into a civil war, Slim and his family are on high alert for anything and everything Devlin Wade sends their way. Before Slim and Jenny returned home, Slim had said this would be a search for information, but he hadn't been home for a full 24 hours until he had all the information he needed. His brother, Randy was dead by an assassin's bullet. They believe that order came from Devlin Wade. Then, an evening raid on his home perpetrated by Devlin Wade resulted in the death of one of his guns for hire. A howling wind is more than just noise. There's cause and effect.
