Miraculously surviving his own hanging, gunfighter James Devlin (Steve Forrest) emerges from the desert marked by fate and searching for purpose. When he comes to the aid of a young widow (Sharon Acker) and her son, Devlin finds them terrorized by a ruthless mining baron (Cameron Mitchell) and his army of hired killers. Forced into a final violent showdown, Devlin must confront both the tyrant who controls the land and the mystery of why death has refused to claim him. A gritty western with a dark spiritual edge, this is a tale of vengeance, redemption, and a gunman who may not be finished with this world just yet.
