Two Texas Rangers pursue the same criminal network from different directions: one works openly under the authority of the law, while the other must conceal his purpose among the men they are trying to expose. Their separate methods bring them into a borderland where outlaw power depends on fear, secrecy and local connections.

The investigation reflects the difficult position of the Rangers in nineteenth-century Texas, where policing vast distances often required personal initiative and uncertain alliances. The danger comes not only from armed confrontation but from the possibility that an undercover identity will fail before enough evidence has been gathered to break the organisation.
