 Jake Reid s father died in a bloody massacre 15 years ago in Covelo, California, after participating in a botched robbery-the loot from which was never found. Jake comes to this small western town to dig up the past and to dig up the money-he digs too deep. As he uncovers the circumstances of his father s death, Jake enlists the help of the daughter of a man his father killed, and fends off the town s brutal sheriff. But Jake isn t the only one looking to haul away the money. Escaped from prison, and on the run, Jake s father s surviving partner in crime shows up in town to finally collect his ill-gotten gains. The sheriff, the outlaw, the locals and the girl go straight to what they know-the gun-and Jake, caught in the crossfire, must decide who s side he is on.
