Town Marshal John Beck is a haunted man. He came to the town of Mother Lode, Arizona, to escape his past as a Pinkerton agent, but blood has a way of staying with a man. So when The Brickhouse Gang rides into town one morning, Beck figures they're doling out their own kind of justice for his past sins. But he wasn't counting on them riding him out of town on a rail and turning him loose in the harsh Arizona desert. And The Brickhouse Gang weren't counting on Beck's iron will to live another day.
