And what was the secret of those tracks he had seen in the snow? With the help of just one old-timer and his wife, Kramer prepares to take on local despot Zebulon King and his ruthless gang of hardcases. Hanging on the outcome are not only the lives of a group of outcasts taking refuge in the high mountains, but also the fate of the town itself. As Kramer battles his way against overwhelming odds, one final question remains: will anyone stand by him when it comes to the final climactic showdown?
