After escaping captivity in revolutionary Mexico, Utah Blaine heads north into Texas and intervenes when a rancher is about to be hanged by his own men. The attack is part of an organised attempt to seize the man's land, and Blaine agrees to pose as the new foreman while the supposedly dead owner stays out of sight.

Taking control of the ranch means confronting gunmen who already believe they have won. Blaine must identify their allies, keep loyal hands alive and defend a property whose weak legal protection makes force almost unavoidable, all while an unexpected romance gives him reasons to think beyond the next fight.
