He will uphold the law, even if it costs him everything...Shortly after the turn of the century on a Colorado range near the town of Sage, Will Landry-an African American land agent enforcing the Van Wyck Fence Law-finds himself in a precarious position. When he discovers the body of a lynched nester swinging out on the prairie, Landry realizes he’s stumbled upon a sinister plot orchestrated by German immigrant cattle baron, Joachim Lang-a man steeped in darkness if there ever was one.To bring Lang to justice, Landry must confront not only the rampant racism of the era but also a town bureaucracy resistant to change. Yet, amidst the adversity, Landry forges unexpected alliances with outcasts and those nursing personal vendettas against a common enemy.As Landry’s unwavering dedication and commitment to the law chip away at Lang’s facade, tensions escalate toward a dramatic climax-a showdown that will test Landry’s courage and resilience like never before.
