Eli Jefferson left his home in Sweetwater, Texas, intent on doing as a good son should, and helping to raise the money his father needed to pay the upcoming bank note. After finishing a cattle drive and earning the money needed, Eli set out for home, ecstatic.
As he neared home, Eli was bushwhacked by an unknown gunman. The bullet creased his head and left him with amnesia. With no memory of who he was, he stumbled unknowingly on the burned remnants of his family's ranch. His mother and father had both been brutally murdered, and the cattle stolen.
Befriended by a group of men who'd found and helped him, along with a few he'd met on the drive, Eli and his friends form a 'posse' in search of clues to the murders and burnings of ranchers and their homes in the surrounding area. Together with the sheriff and his deputy, they rush to end the string of violence and the men causing it.
