For five years Moran Bailey has crossed the American West in pursuit of a violent enemy known as the Beast. The hunt has given Moran a reputation of his own, but little peace. His latest information points towards Cactus Town near Arizona’s Gila Mountains, where the Beast is believed to be gathering armed men.

Moran rides into the mining country expecting a final confrontation and instead becomes involved with a ranching family and their daughter Roxy. The possibility of a different life competes with the obligation that has driven him across several states. Before Moran can decide what comes after the hunt, he must determine why the Beast has chosen Cactus Town and survive the men assembled there.
