 A badly wounded Micah stumbles into Lucas  ranch, shot in the back. He was after a notorious "backshooter" named Bletch Droshek, and it was Droshek who shot him. Micah deputizes Lucas to go after Droshek, and Lucas finds Droshek holed up in a mining settlement called Droshek Town--which is run by Droshek and his brother Ott, who own everything and everybody and who have no intention of letting Lucas leave the town alive.
