Captain Jack Starr served the confederate cause with honor for four years. Once the war is over, he moves to Lost Dog Creek, Texas, hoping to rebuild his life and find a woman to share it with. But not everyone is willing to roll out the welcome wagon for Jack. Hiram Sawyer has designs on every inch of cattle ranch in the surrounding territory and he isn't about to let some ex-reb steal the heart of the widow whose ranch he covets. With men on both sides of the law willing to do his bidding, Sawyer begins a campaign to destroy Jack. But he's declared war on the wrong man.
