Nathan Jericho and his long time partner, Marcus, were on their way to join up two friends and professional bank robbers, Bill Carver and Dave Kilpatrick, to do a job in the small town of Salt Flats when they happened upon a hanging in progress. Pyke O'Brien, self-appointed man of God and leader of the six man vigilante group, was determined to hang Fox Hutchins and Whitefield Harris for sins against God and man. When Nathan and Marcus intervened, they found themselves in a deadly shootout with the group of vigilantes. From there, the group found themselves surrounded by a raiding party of Comanche. Barely escaping with their lives, Nathan, Marcus and their two new-found friends, make their way to Rose Stone, only to find their two friends, Carver and Kilpatrick, had been killed in a shootout with the Mahan brothers. Needing two others to help with the four man job of robbing the Salt Flats bank, Nathan and Marcus decided to take Fox and Whitefield under their wings. When they reached Salt Flats, they found the bank, but also found far more than they bargained for.
