Attorney 'Mac' McLean is on the train returning home after burying his runaway wife when he finds himself being robbed by a gang of train robbers. Even worse is the leader of the gang is a man he sent to prison years ago, and now the man wants revenge. He forces Mac to participate in the robbery, making it appear Mac is one of the gang.

Gracie Hart's dream of being a writer is about to come true. When her train is robbed, her report and the picture she drew of big bad train robber, Mac McLean, helps send him to prison. It also leads to a brand-new opportunity for Gracie as the author of a series of best-selling books featuring gunslinger "Scar McLean".

Five years later, Mac is released from prison only to receive terrible news; his six-year-old daughter has disappeared, and some despicable woman has made a career out of portraying Mac as a gunslinger in her best-selling novels, making him the target of every dumb kid in Texas who wants to make a name for himself.

Now he has to find that woman and make her write him out of her books so he can get his life back on track. Only one problem: she refuses to do it. Well, if that's the case, Mac will just have to make her change her mind.
