After three brutal years on the front lines, Gideon Moss returns home to Virginia to find another man in his wife's bed, and in the heat of the confrontation, he kills him. By sunrise, Gideon is a fugitive with a price on his head and nothing left to lose.

U.S. Marshal Andrew Dillon is a lawman guided by duty and strict principles. After arresting Gideon, he offers him one chance at redemption. Gideon's brother, Roddy, has vanished while riding for Wells Fargo, and Dillon believes a ruthless outlaw is holding him captive. If Gideon helps locate his brother, the marshal may help him escape the noose.

To save his brother, Gideon must cross a stretch of desert the locals call Dead Man's Road. The outlaw waiting at the end of the trail is the only thing standing between him and the last living kin he has left. But when a man has already lost his country, his wife, and his name, what's one more impossible ride?
