No lawman has ever been tested under fire as Sheriff Clay Granger. The lawman must respond to a large murderous Vortman family intent on leaving behind a trail of blood and fear in 1874 Empire, Texas.
The Vortmans, led by evil patriarch Asa Vortman, don't mind burning, shooting, bludgeoning or blowing up anyone who gets in their way. To complicate matters, the insidious gang are holed up a most well protected pieces of real estate on the frontier, Ridge Country. Nobody can lay a hand on them in the barren, rugged rock terrain.
Or can they? That's Clay’s mission as he fights against the Vortmans as well as political forces, which interfere with the young, handsome lawman. Clay will use his wits, muscles and his firearms to put an end to the Vortman's rampage. Along the way he finds adventure and love with a beautiful young red-haired woman, Becca McNeal.
