Bounty hunter Dean Kennedy returns to Dry Creek after another successful hunt, only to find that his wife Emily has struck up a friendship with outlaw Wolfe Lord. Kennedy reckons his problems were over when the sheriff runs Lord out of town, but then his wife and young son disappear.
Kennedy sets out to find his family, but it takes him fifteen long years to track Lord down, and that leads him to the lawless town of Nirvana, where his wife is leading a very different life. Worse, his son had grown up to become the kind of outlaw he has spent his life tracking down, and so Kennedy embarks on his toughest mission to bring his own son to justice.
