The year is 1973. A four-man crew of stick-up artists has been on a rampage in South Texas along the Rio Grande corridor from El Paso to Laredo. One day they stick up the bank and liquor store in Mosby in Quayle County, killing one person and severely wounding another. Mosby is a small town in a large county, with only 3,000 souls and very little crime. Sheriff Solomon Pratt and his eight-man, two-woman department are committed to bringing the culprits to justice. Deputy Barlow Adams is doubly committed because one of the victims is his brother-in-law. Barlow's bond with his brother-in-law is thicker than blood.

It was 1969. Barlow Adams, age 20, was a recently discharged veteran. He was driving late at night on a lonely stretch of highway in the Trans-Pecos region of Texas.

He rescued the victim, which catapulted him into an appointment as a deputy sheriff.Along the way he encounters an enchanting woman who will change his life forever. In addition, he will be confronted by a gang of outlaw bikers who are obsessed with killing him while he is still learning the ropes of becoming a lawman.This is the story of a young man in the 1960's, an era which has long been forgotten except for those who lived it.
