Description: A kill-crazy butcher is loose in the Arizona territory and only one man is bold enough to end the mayhem.Luke Jensen joins a posse of misfits and greenhorns on a murderous manhunt that's doomed from the start--and there's no turning back. Someone is terrorizing the Arizona border. Burning down ranches. Butchering travelers. Blazing a trail of bloodthirsty raids and robbing the railroads blind. His name is Melichus. A ruthless half-breed outlaw with a mile-long record of cruelties and crimes, he's the most wanted man in the territory. And the massive price on his head has attracted the attention of every trigger-happy, would-be bounty hunter this side of the Rio Grande. But Luke Jensen knows something they don't: The bigger the bounty, the deadlier the prey. Against his better judgment, Luke accepts an offer from the Great Southern Railroad to lead a posse of hired guns to stop Melichus in his tracks. Problem is, the gunmen are untrained, undisciplined, and unruly. To make matters worse, a meddlesome pair of Pinkertons are along for the ride, too. But the real trouble starts when their team gets caught in a three-sided gunfight with an Apache war party and the Mexican Army. It's fast becoming the bloodiest manhunt Luke's ever seen--and the final showdown could be his last.Performed by James Konicek, Bradley Smith, Holly Adams, Wyn Delano, Kay Eluvian, Rayner Gabriel, Christopher Walker, Daniel Llaca, Robb Moreira, James Lewis, Matthew Bassett, Sam Intrater, Aure Nash, Belsheber Rusape, Eva Wilhelm, Christopher Graybill, Rose Elizabeth Supan, Laura C.
