A forgotten gunslinger battles modern-day gangsters

At seventy-one, the Wind River Kid is a kid no longer. In the last days of the Old West, he was feared in gambling halls across the country, a hard-nosed card shark who didn't mind killing to prove a point. When he had gotten his fill of violence, he moved back to Elkhorn, a lonely mountain town that died bit by bit, its population dwindling until he was the only one left. It's 1927 now, but to the aged Kid, it may as well be 1875. He's been alone for decades, comforted only by the ghosts of a vanished West - until the modern world comes to visit, guns blazing.

A dangerous young couple comes to Elkhorn looking for a place to hide out from the killers on their tail. Wild River just wanted to be left alone, but he will have to take up the gun again if he is ever to rest in peace.
