A Civil War hero slowly descends into a bloodthirsty madness after being shot and left for dead by a corrupt Union general. This by no means is a story about a man and his horse riding on the range. Nor is it a story about heroes and villains shooting it out in a one-horse town. This is a dark tale about a man's psychological dysfunction that leads him into a world of murder for reasons a preacher says are religious in nature. But all he knows for sure, is that he must kill to ease the murderous thoughts and debilitating numbness he feels inside, whether he wants to or not. Now under the manipulation of this shady preacher, a troubled Jack Shelby will travel west in search of his ultimate cure: the blood of those who have wronged him. No one is safe from his bloodlust. But will he find his cure and reclaim his own mind? Or will he find more questions that do nothing more than drive him deeper into confusing madness? Regardless, Jack will leave a trail of blood behind him as testimony of his newfound addiction, as he eliminates all those who stand in his way, much to his reluctant delight.
