In the jagged, rocky Colorado Rockies, an embittered, financially ruined former rancher turned ruthless bounty hunter captures a fugitive wanted for murder for a $5,000 dead-or-alive reward, accompanied by an untrustworthy prospector and a dishonorably discharged cavalryman, as the manipulative killer psychologically turns the greedy men against each other along the perilous mountain trail.
