Travis Quinn didn't have much luck picking his friends. He was fired from the last ranch he worked on when a friend of his got blacklisted for going behind the owner's back. Guilt by association sent Quinn looking for another job, too. He made his way down the Powder River country until he ran into Miles Newman, who put in a good word for him and got him a job at the Lockhart Ranch. But Quinn didn't know too much about Newman, and the more he learned, the less he liked. Pretty soon it started to look like Quinn had picked the wrong friend again. And if the rumors about Newman were true, this friend just might get him killed.
