On a brutally cold winter day, Jess Hazzard discovers a young man lying unconscious and nearly frozen to death in the snow. He takes him home and works to save his life, not knowing he has been searching for Jess.

Years earlier, Jess put a bullet in the man's father. He lived, but forever blamed Jess for his family's dismal poverty. Following the death of his beloved mother, the man set out seeking revenge against the gunfighter he believed responsible for everything bad that happened to him and his family.

Now that he's found him, will he follow through with his plan for vengeance against the man who just saved his life?
