This story delves into the turbulent and lawless life on the Texas border, centering on the main character, Buck Duane, the last of the Duane lineage who is struggling with his inherited violent instincts in a world rife with outlaws. As tensions simmer, he must navigate personal honor and the weight of his family's legacy against the backdrop of the Old West. At the start of the novel, readers meet Buck Duane, who is warned by his uncle about an impending conflict with the drunken gunfighter Cal Bain. Unable to ignore the challenge to his pride, Duane chooses to confront Bain, resulting in a deadly shootout that fundamentally alters his life; though he acted in self-defense, he is now a fugitive. Following this confrontation, Duane reflects on the nature of violence and law, as he wrestles with guilt and the reality of being an outlaw in a world fraught with danger. He ultimately decides to escape into the wild, seeking a refuge from the consequences of his actions, while his journey introduces him to the harsh and morally ambiguous landscape of a life on the run.
