Election day is coming up in Abilene. An ambitious businessman is backing his own candidate for county sheriff, and Marshal Luke Travis is drafted to run against him. When the voting is interrupted by a shooting spree and a freak fire, Travis suspects that his opponent, John Henry Dawes, is not the honest lawman he pretends to be. But the ballot count leaves Travis on the short end. The new sheriff is beginning a reign of corruption and outright terror, and he's got the power to silence anyone who tries to stop him. Abilene has never seen a darker day, and Luke Travis has never had a better reason to pick up a gun -- to take on a man who uses a badge to steal and kill.
In the heart of the West, in a land of courage and violence, this is the saga of the men and women who forged the legend of the American frontier!
