Jay and Tuck are two drifters who happen into Mohave City as if it were any other southwest mining town. But what they discover is a place unlike any other they've seen. Not only is there no work for them, but there isn't a drop of courtesy to be had. So they leave as fast as they blew in - but not before Tuck's light fingers get the better of him, and he steals a silver knife and fork from the one old man who's shown them some kindness.

For the next stranger to enter Mohave City is one Dr. Jay Carmody...
