For Tito Pacheco, a few hands of poker seems a good way to pass the time until he is forced to kill one man to save another. Then he finds the body on the trail, and has a second gunfight in a town called Ivory Flats.

Baxter Puggot loved his kid brother. He vowed to see his brother's killer dead, by any means necessary, and he had a half-dozen men who could get the job done. Tito could run far and dig himself a deep hole, but Baxter swore he would root him out and see him dead.
