Rip Campbell came to Dodge City to leave his violent past behind. After years of running—from the war, from a bloody shootout in Abilene—he's looking for a second chance on a quiet wagon train heading west. He's a man who has done terrible things for all the right reasons. But a man with a reputation can't stay hidden forever.
When a bitter feud between two rival saloons ignites, Rip finds himself in the crosshairs. With the town on the brink of a bloody war, his fight for peace is complicated by the arrival of a ruthless bounty hunter from his past. To save the town and the woman who sees the good in him, Rip must face the very violence he tried to escape.
In a showdown that will decide the fate of Dodge City, Rip makes a desperate gamble: a series of winner-take-all duels against the town's most dangerous gunmen. But a man’s fastest draw can’t outrun his past.
Can a man built for violence find peace? Or will the path to a new life be paved in blood?
