After only a week as a deputy sheriff, Mike McClure is recruited to infiltrate the hired guns harassing the homesteaders of Harmony. In a dreadful night of bloody carnage, the mission ends in failure and the marshal who hired him winds up dead. After fleeing for his life and escaping the gunslingers on his trail, Mike holes up with Brandon Webb's Wild West Show where he assumes a new identity--but no matter how successful he becomes in his new life, Mike can never forget the terrible events he witnessed. One day he must return to Harmony and call upon all his gun skills to bring the guilty parties to grim justice.
