In the 1870s, Texas Hill Country was about the most dangerous place to be. The Comanche, Kiowa and Cheyenne had jointly vowed to kill any white man they saw. Cattle rustlers ran rampant, leading to major feuding among ranchers. And the rumor of a hidden silver mine had lured all sorts of unsavory characters to the area. Into this unforgivable mess rides seventeen-year-old Mick and sixteen-year-old Syd. They barely know each other, yet they share the same goal: find a man named Bill Hinton. Mick is looking to reunite with this long-lost uncle, but Syd wants Hinton dead. They've no choice but to band together in this hostile territory, but in the end only one can have their way.
