It's late January of 1874. Jed Chance is on the move, seeking out the men that visited the horrors on his friends and did things to them that made their deaths a welcome relief. However, before he can catch up to those men, he must help an old friend deal with a murderous outlaw, one of Texas's most effective killers.

Alice Henderson and her granddaughter, Katherine, have returned to the Bar H, still mourning the loss of their loved one, Rose - Katherine's sister and Mrs. Henderson's granddaughter. Into all this steps a stranger with a killer's reputation.

The man is lightning fast with his Colt, and he is looking for Jed. The killer's arrival brings a terrible fear to those who care about Jed, and brings deadly events to the Bar H.
