The townspeople pool their money so Newcombe can enter the big poker game in Golden Junction, and as much as he wants to leave his past life behind, the whole town is counting on him. Winning the big pot will burnish his reputation, but his goal is simple: get the money and get out alive. Because his opponents include wealthy ranchers, tinhorn gamblers, and men who are outright criminals--and many of them will stop at nothing to make their fortune, whether they have to cheat, drug, or kill...
