In a desolate, dust-swept post-apocalyptic West, a formidable and feared lawman known as the Bad Hand Man rides into a decaying town, his reputation preceding him. He's on the trail of a dangerous criminal, and his arrival casts a long shadow over the desperate inhabitants. When the identity of the fugitive is revealed to be the closest friend of young Jake Stryker, an orphaned boy hardened by the harsh new world, Jake is thrust into an impossible situation. Desperate to save his friend, Jake boldly confronts the monstrous lawman and proposes a high-stakes game of poker--but the cards dealt will determine not only his friend's fate but also irrevocably alter the course of Jake's life.
