John soon discovers that his uncle has been killed by a gang of outlaws, and he joins forces with August and his ranch hands to track down the killers and bring them to justice. As John and Mescal fall in love, they must navigate the dangerous terrain of the desert and confront their own prejudices and cultural differences.
