Former outlaw William "Quick Shot" Clintock seeks to leave his wild days behind by seeking refuge in a small mid-western town at the dawn of the twentieth century. Only the solace he so desperately seeks is not as simple as he once thought. Venturing into Hibbing, Wyoming, Clintock encounters a local loan shark named Elmo Gintry, a man well respected and feared by the town's citizens. Knowing full well of the regulator's past, Gintry coerces Clintock into collecting a debt for him from a despondent horse farmer. Now Clintock must choose between the life he once desired, and the past he's seeking to run away from.
