A tense Western pursuit across hostile terrain where a bounty hunter and an unlikely band of companions must survive both outlaws and the hunted man's vengeful brother.

On the way to pick up the bounty on a wanted murderer, a bounty hunter stops at a staging post where he is forced to continue his journey with two outlaws who want the murderer for their own reasons and a recently-widowed woman, with the murderer's brother and his men in hot pursuit.
