After his last indiscretion, Bass sends Josh Ford to Texas. Let him be someone else's headache for a while. The marshal there is an old friend and welcomes the badge-toting hellraiser with open arms and a whole wagon load of trouble.Then word comes that Bass is missing and Ford swears he'll walk through the fires of Hell itself to find out what has happened to his father. In the end, he does just that. Shoulder to shoulder with a marshal called Willis and a fast gun named Laramie Davis.

The little town was Serenity: in name and nature. Then the railroad and miners came, dragging violence and death behind them. Renamed Hell, the sleepy town changed under the rule of Ike Cordis. Known as The Devil, Cordis controlled The Three Horsemen, the fastest guns in town. Long forgotten was the fourth horseman - a man riding a blue roan. A man determined to make The Devil burn in Hell!
