For Tom Early, the trail is years cold, his task nearly impossible. But he can't let that stop him; he sets out across windswept plains to kill the men who murdered his sister.

Along the way, Early takes charge of two young orphans, and caring for them begins to overshadow his urge for vengeance. The men he was tracking will not be so easily deterred. The Dawson brothers have learned of Early's pursuit and double back to end his meddling. And they won't stop until they silence him and everyone he loves forever.
