This story delves into the turbulent and lawless life on the Texas border, centering on the main character, Buck Duane, the last of the Duane lineage who is struggling with his inherited violent instincts in a world rife with outlaws. As tensions simmer, he must navigate personal honor and the weight of his family's legacy against the backdrop of the Old West.

Unable to ignore the challenge to his pride, Duane chooses to confront Bain, resulting in a deadly shootout that fundamentally alters his life; though he acted in self-defense, he is now a fugitive.
