Twenty years earlier, Dan Eckert had been an outlaw with a desire to go straight. By selling out his companions, the notorious McCabe gang, he earned himself a full pardon. 

There was just one problem. 

Two decades later, the McCabe gang broke out of prison and came looking for revenge. 

Eckert, now the respected town marshal of Sweetwater, knew he couldn’t fight them by himself, so he hired Shane Preston and Jonah Jones to help even the odds. But the one thing nobody anticipated was the actions of Sweetwater itself. 

Fearful of the McCabe gang and what they might do if crossed, the locals decided to offer up Eckert as a sacrificial lamb...and there was no way on earth that Shane and Jonah could buck an entire town!
