Three farmers, related, having dinner in town. A drifter's bullet. A man lying dead. Will the killer get away? Zeke never thought he'd get Pa killed. Realizing he caused his father's death tears up the eighteen year-old farmer till he's all sick inside. But when Grandpa McNichol, a U.S. Marshal in Topeka, comes to town for the funeral, he announces that Zeke and Uncle Billy will join him in catching the gunman. Fearing he won't measure up to a man he hasn't seen since he was six, Zeke still chooses to join the pursuit with Grandpa and Uncle Billy. But with a bum left leg and having never shot a six-gun, Zeke knows he'll be nearly helpless on such a hazardous venture. Can Zeke survive the trip and maybe help to catch the killer, or will he fail, or even die along the way?
