When the Arapaho she plans to marry, Ned Windsong, is shot to death, Marcy Morrison is the only witness. Even though she identifies two Arapaho troublemakers, Ned's family believes Marcy was responsible. Convinced of Marcy's innocence, Arapaho attorney Vicky Holden agrees to represent her -- and finds herself at odds with her own people for taking the side of an outsider.
She also finds herself at odds with Father John O'Malley, because the mission priest has glimpsed something in the beautiful girl that shakes him to his core. Then the men Marcy has accused of murdering her fiancé are found dead in an abandoned barn, and another suspect surfaces: Roseanne Birdwoman, Ned's former girlfriend. Vicky and Father John realize they are caught in a web of lies and deceit woven by a master, a psychopathic killer determined to play out the game to the deadly end.
