In the small town of Holton, a showdown is brewing, but things aren’t as straightforward as they seem …\n\nFirst in a series of at least two albums (we hope to see more) starring a lone gunman, a man with no name, who's out to stop a sadistic killer with a silver-tongue and too many followers. And our hero has his own secrets...why was he raised by Indians, why does he have this second sight, and why is he targeting this one villain in particular?
