Flagan Sackett escapes from Apache captivity into the rugged San Juan country, where survival depends on finding water, shelter and help before his pursuers catch him. His brother Galloway eventually reaches him, but reunion only leads to another conflict when the brothers decide to establish a ranch on land the powerful Dunn clan intends to control.
The Sacketts face opponents who use intimidation and killing to keep rivals off the range, forcing Flagan and Galloway to defend both their claim and one another. The novel combines the hazards of the post-Civil-War Southwest with a range feud, placing family solidarity at the centre of a landscape where isolation makes formal law difficult to enforce.
