Road To a Shootout

1885: On the run for ten years, the surviving gunman of the Fort Hays City shoot-out is persuaded by is dying ex-wife to take a vengeful road to an even bigger shootout―possibly his last. Seven professional killers face one handicapped gunman on the dusty streets of Las Vegas, New Mexico Territory.

1885: The once beautiful Benevolence, wasted with cancer, traces her ex-husband, John Henry Summerfield, a gunman on the run, to the tiny town of Los Angeles, California. Bound to a wheelchair, with only a few weeks to live, she informs him that a gang of outlaws has kidnapped her daughters and granddaughters from their ranch in Las Vegas, New Mexico Territory. The oldest daughter is the baby girl he deserted twenty years earlier to fight for the Union against the rebels; the younger daughter, sired by a second husband, has been either murdered or sold into prostitution, her prepubescent granddaughters traded to an Apache band taking refuge in the mountains north of Las Vegas. Reminding John Henry of the promise he made to her twenty years ago, Benevolence demands that her  ex-husband hunt down the gang of kidnappers, kill them all, and rescue the women and girls. Handicapped with missing fingers, he has not handled a pistol in years, so is reluctant to fulfill Benevolence's demand for revenge.
