Frank Mitchell's life changed forever the day his wife was killed by a bullet that was meant for him. Revenge now burns his soul as he roams around the countryside seeking her killer. His search leads him to Atlas, home of his old friend, Ger McMahon. Atlas is no ordinary town, however, and Frank soon falls afoul of Mark Taylor, a land grabber that has bought the law and runs the town as his own. But then, he also meets Julia, whose eyes pierce into his very soul. When Ger's farm is threatened by Taylor, and Julia is being forced into a marriage against her will, Frank must decide whether his desire to seek revenge is greater than his willingness to help both his oldest friend and the beautiful woman who has reawakened in him a humanity he had forgotten existed.
