Gil Blue's fourteen-month career robbing convenience stores in White Leg and surrounding towns in Texas comes to an explosive end in the early hours one spring morning, when a Texas Ranger walks in on a holdup in progress. Gil is forced to shoot.
Five shots ring out; four bodies lie dead and Gil is catapulted from small-time hood into big-time criminal. Adding another knot to the noose tightening around his neck, Gil's conniving wife sets him up to take the fall in a kidnapping scheme involving the grandson of the local town boss. The law is after him, and the outlaws are too. Gil must scramble to stay out of the line of fire in a town where everybody wants him dead.
