the long version

Damon Gates is a former slave trying to scratch out a meager living and provide for his family in the wake of the Civil War. But on his way to buy a few head of cattle, he is captured by three outlaws who want to kill him for nothing more than his skin color. Enter Gabriel Burns, a legendary Texas gunman, riding to help a family of poor Colorado homesteaders. Throw into the plot Kellen Malone, a former lawman, rancher and gunfighter, who is pursuing Burns, to bring him to justice for the murder of a young man. What will happen when their paths converge?
