Nate Landry earns his living by hunting outlaws. When Anna Thomas tries to hire him to deliver a ransom to the outlaws who killed her husband and kidnapped her son, Nate politely declines her job offer. Then he discovers the identity of the outlaws. One of them, an old acquaintance from the Civil War, is the worst cold-blooded killer Nate has ever known. Capturing or killing these outlaws is task too difficult for one man, even Nate. When his lifelong friend Wolf shows up, Nate is happy to have his help. His happiness turns to concern, however, when Anna insists on riding with them.

Major Campbell and his cold-blooded companions, the Parson brothers, are the kind of men who will collect the ransom money and then kill the Thomas boy and whoever delivered the ransom. Campbell, however, doesn’t know Nate and Wolf are making the delivery. When they face Campbell and his two henchmen, bullets will fly, and someone won’t be riding away.
