Knowing that the boy has nowhere to go, Santee offers him a job on his ranch and they slowly become friends. Jody fills a void for both Santee and his wife and Santee vows to settle down and hang up his guns for good.

Now Santee has no choice but to strap on his guns and head out for the battle he's been waiting years to wage... one final, fatal showdown.
