Hannah runs a ranch in this area, but there is a sheriff in town that is causing Hannah problems.

Sam Sawyer wants to help Hannah, and he believes this is his next mission in life. However, Sam does not know what he is in for and he ends up on a path he did not expect. This path is beyond leading cattle, and Sawyer’s eyes are opened to a lifestyle he has never experienced.
