When Hal Grant’s father is killed in the street, a full-blown war is set to explode.

The wealthy ranchers of Lundon County are determined to take the law into their own hands and rid the county of the sharecroppers, nesters and sodbusters eking out an existence on the marginal lands.

As the heir to the Big G, the richest ranch in the county, Hal should have sided with his fellow ranchers.

But his sympathies are with the underdogs, for he does not believe in mob law and vigilante justice.

Hal is caught in the middle.

But no one is allowed to sit on the fence in a conflagration that is consuming a county.

Hal is forced to fight for his life as well as the survival of his ranch.
