The western frontier town is ruled by strict rules: men from nearby cattle drives are banned from the northern side, viewed as coarse by the locals. Tom Lundy is lured into breaking this law and is killed that night. Driven by outrage over her brother’s murder, Tom’s sister Kate resolves to destroy the town. When Aaron McDonald sends an army of hired guns, Kate’s gang and the labor crew of the Tumbling B are forced to decide if their quest for revenge costs too much.
