"Jason Keeler, a newly arrived lawyer, helps the towns of Enid and Pond Creek, Oklahoma, in their struggle against the unscrupulous railroad owners"--
Under mounting pressure from his displeased superiors in Washington, Evett Nix, chief Marshal of Oklahoma, launches one final desperate plan to round up the notorious Bill Doolin and his deadly gang, the Wild Bunch. Nix calls on his old friend, Frank Grimes, a former lawman turned farmer, to help find Doolin. Frank, with his impetuous and mercurial younger brother, Chad, set out undercover as farmers looking to buy some land. They find Doolin holed up in the dusty prairie town of Ingalls -- a town too small to warrant a railroad stop and too insignificant to justify the presence of a lawman -- the perfect hideout.
