A small group of men meet and decide they have had enough, but what that means and where it will take them is something they could not have foreseen. Over the course of the next several months, lives will change, people die, and unexpected heroes emergelike a Randolph Scott western, one of them remarks, played out not with horses and Winchesters, but with Chevys and .38s and switchblades.
