A rousing Western adventure about young ranchers turned outlaws fighting a corrupt railroad baron, balancing action and camaraderie with the mythology of the Old West.

When a Midwest town learns that a corrupt railroad baron has captured the deeds to their homesteads without their knowledge, a group of young ranchers join forces to take back what is rightfully theirs. They will become the object of the biggest manhunt in the history of the Old West and, as their fame grows, so will the legend of their leader, a young outlaw by the name of Jesse James.
