Synopsis
Sheriff Jess Casey faces an impossible task: protect a notorious former Union general, known as the Butcher of Baxter Pass, from a vengeful Confederate clan. The general massacred 200 prisoners, and now the McNamara clan, having lost three kin, is determined to see him dead. Outnumbered and facing a bloodthirsty mob, Casey must uphold the law and save a man he despises, even if it means risking his own life against a dozen rebel avengers.
