"Jacob Tackman returns home to the large Iron Spur ranch from college to find nothing has changed. Willie, the redheaded and fiery daughter of the foreman still puts him down as a weakling. His father orders him to accompany her on a mission where he must prove himself or lose his inheritance, the large ranch, to Willie. Killers, rapists, and thieves present insurmountable odds against his success."
