Joe Pickett, still officially a game warden but now mostly a troubleshooter for the governor, is assigned to find out what the truth is, but he discovers a lot more than he' d bargained for. There are two other men living up at that ranch.

Joe Pickett had good reason to dislike Dallas Cates, even if he was a rodeo champion, and now he has even more- Joe's eighteen-year-old ward, April, has run off with him.

But Joe knows in his gut who's responsible.
