That is, until his folks write, imploring him to hunt down his brother, Myles, who's been shot while prospecting in the Black Hills.

But as he follows his brother's wandering trail across the country, leading him to encounter deadly obstacles from Texas to Blood Gulch, he begins to wonder if he can ever return to the comfortable life he used to lead--or if he even wants to....
