Severely beaten and sexually assaulted weekly by his foster father, Ace Keebler withdrew into a world of darkness where he nurtured a festering hate for his fellow man. On his sixteenth birthday, Keebler left his foster parents dead on the floor of their burning ranch house and set out on his own. Everything that Ace acquired from that day on he took, and it wasn’t healthy for those he chose as victims. It was the outlaw’s philosophy to never leave witnesses, and he could not understand why someone should be allowed to live who could testify against him. Two years after Keebler began his life of crime, he met two men in an all-night poker game who had the same values as he about another’s life . . . zero.

After the fun ended, Ace shot each of the victims in the head as always, but this time was different. The youngest member of the family, a 10-year old boy, did not die and was nursed back to health.
