A tense Western mystery about a stranger's investigation into a ranching family's dark secrets, built on suspicion, hidden motives, and moral ambiguity.

Will Lockhart arrives in Coronado, an isolated town in New Mexico, in search of someone who sells rifles to the Apache tribe, finding himself unwillingly drawn into the convoluted life of a local ranching family whose members seem to have a lot to hide.
