A settler returns to the town he founded to burn it to the ground

When Tom Quinn first came to the little patch of prairie that would become Stratton, it wasn't paradise, but it was close. The town he built there was beautiful in a humble way, an honest Western village where hardworking settlers came to make new lives. When Tom moved on, he left a happy town behind him. And then a man called Shelley Peebles came and turned it into hell.

Backed up by a gang of hired guns, Peebles pushed out the small landowners, using money and muscle to corrupt the village and its people. Only one man stood in his way -- the veteran gunman Tyler Holt -- and so Peebles used his influence to have Holt lynched. This outrage brings Quinn back to the town he loved so much -- not to save it, but to wipe it off the earth.
