Nine years after the murder of his step-father, Kenny Blacklaws returns to the East Texas town of Copper Bluffs. Kenny is tossed into a conflict between warring rustlers, and finds himself caught in a romantic entanglement when his step-brother's woman falls for him. It seems that nearly everyone in Copper Bluffs has a grudge to bear against Kenny, even his step-father, who may not be dead after all...

I went into this not expecting much and I was rewarded with just that - nothing much - I mean, the characters are there and the story is there, but things don't have a very steady flow I feel, and I also feel that there are some assumptions made as to the reader knowing certain things about the characters prior to reading this story. This is not something that I would recommend for anyone unless they were already a Die Hard Les Savage fan.
