When Jack Henneson's Uncle Billy dies, he inherits the man's ranch. Unfortunately, Jack doesn't know anything about ranching. All he does know is that between inheritance and land taxes, the place is going to put him into bankruptcy in short order.
Pacer Williams was more than just Uncle Billy's right-hand man. The two of them considered each other family, and Uncle Billy had promised the ranch would go to Pacer when he died. That happened before the will could be changed, though, and when Jack comes in, looking to sell, Pacer can't afford to buy the place, and the antagonism between the two men grows from there.
Can the men find a middle ground before they either kill each other or both lose the ranch forever?
