Former Texas Ranger Hugh Rafferty had hoped to avoid conflict when he retired to a small ranch in remote high country. When gunslingers launch repeated attacks on him and his ranch, he figures it is something out of his past. But as clues develop, he learns there is something much bigger afoot. Allies from his Ranger past arrive by stage to help him put down the scheme to kill him and take over his range. Rafferty is wounded, his dog is shot and his girl is kidnapped. He returns to his old violent was to protect what matters to him.
