Living under the name Trent, Kilkenny tries to put his past behind him in Idaho. A rancher's campaign to seize local land forces him to choose between remaining hidden and defending neighbors against armed intimidation.

Fourteen frontier stories follow people forced to defend land, honor or their lives. A farmer flees a dead man's brothers, a drifter faces a hanging posse, and an aging marshal confronts someone who knows his secret.

A stranger kills Boquilla's town bully and is welcomed as a hero, with townspeople wondering whether he is the famous Kilkenny. Their generosity encourages him to stay, but doubts about his identity threaten his comfortable new life.

These frontier tales follow a marshal hunting a killer, a wounded drifter offered another chance and a woman defending her home. The title novella brings a young woman a disturbing message about the men closest to her.
