Nathan Jericho, bored with the life of his cantina in Vera Cruz, Mexico, decided to have some fun in planning one last bank robbery. His best friend and long-time partner, Marcus, was nowhere around, so he gathered three other men to help with the job and headed out.
While he was gone, two brothers and a hired gun by the name of Clay Bass arrived at the cantina in search of an older man the brothers wanted dead. In the process of killing their quarry, Isabella, the only woman Nathan trusted enough to run his cantina while he was away and also to call a friend, was gunned down by Bass. Nathan was furious when he returned and learned of her senseless death.
Nathan set out with one agenda, to track down and kill Clay Bass for the murder of his friend. On his way to Victoria, the town where he'd heard Bass was last seen, he found himself in a world of trouble. Shot in ambush and left for dead, Nathan regained consciousness to find himself being nursed back to health by Ralph and Sarah Wilson. The very man who'd ambushed Nathan turned out to be insane and dangerous to the Wilsons. Jericho soon found himself fighting for his life, and theirs, in more ways than one.
