There’s not enough water being provided by the local dam, Sheriff Laatsch is letting outlaws go free and the town’s banker is crooked.

Flip Nickerson is college educated and has a promising future.

But his best friend Red Kyle is being branded an outlaw and in the Old West, when you’re called an outlaw, it doesn’t take long before you’re forced to live up to your name.

When Flip is offered the chance to become deputy sheriff he can’t pass up the opportunity.

He swears an oath to uphold the law – but what does this mean for the future of his friendship with the now outlaw Red?

And it’s not long before Flip realises that as an authority in the town, you quickly have more enemies than you have friends.

To make things worse, the love of his life Grace has a brother hell-bent on breaking the law.

And when Flip gets elected The Sheriff of Elk Ridge – rather than just deputy – he has a choice to make – does he go easy on his friends, or does he live by the oath that he swore?

One thing is for sure, lives will be lost.

But will Flip Nickerson be able to save Elk Ridge, keep his friends, and get the girl?
