The ranger makes his living tracking down dangerous criminals who have long eluded the law. His goal is swift justice and his aim is certain death. But a midnight jailbreak that sets loose a cadre of killers and trigger-happy outlaws is about to put the ranger’s skills and sense of justice to a test.
Ernesto Caslado, the Mexican-born desperado who is behind the jailbreak, leads the band of convicts deep into the harsh Badlands Frontier. He, too, is searching for justice—seeking out the true killer guilty of the murder that was about to send him to the gallows.
Both lawman and killer are driven, and both are about to face off in a life or death challenge. Before the sun goes down, the Badlands will defy everything they know about honor, courage, and loyalty.
