Confederate officer Garrett Roads returns to his ranch in Texas after a long cattle drive and finds it burned to the ground, his family gunned down. As hard as this is for Roads to take in, it's just as hard to be told his sister Alice's finger was on the trigger, and now, she's joined a gang of desperadoes robbing and murdering its way across the Texas plains.

Family honor is at stake. So are innocent lives. Joined by his Yankee friend, Carson Budrow, Roads sets out to stop the killing spree and bring Alice to justice, regardless of what it takes. There will be long, dusty miles, attacks by bandits and Comanche warriors, floods, scorching heat, and betrayals. But the two men are determined to see the journey through and ensure honor is returned to the Roads' family name.
