Thomas Ward is a man haunted by his past. The town he once swore to protect was destroyed by a ruthless gang of outlaws, leaving him with nothing but the bitter taste of failure. Now he earns his keep as a wagon train guide, finding solace only at the bottom of a whiskey bottle.

Guiding his final train to Oregon with dreams of retirement, Thomas believes his troubled days are behind him. But the trail ahead forces him to ride once more into danger he never imagined, and he must summon every ounce of courage to survive.

Years of weakness and dependence have taken their toll. When the moment of truth arrives, will Thomas overcome his demons and rise to the challenge? Or will his old habits condemn the travelers he's been entrusted to lead?
