✦ Synopsis

Bareknuckle fighter, gunman, and itinerant marshal Josiah Hawke is up against a stacked deck: He's been called in to investigate the murder of an old friend and lawman in a town that's suddenly and inexplicably been overrun by thugs and goons. With the odds against him, Hawke, a former college professor who became addicted to the rush of combat a decade earlier during the Civil War, brings a very special set of skills to the table - trickery, deception, and battlefield smarts he acquired in a secret unit conducting raids and sabotage behind enemy lines. And he teams up with a formidable Tennessee mountain man named Tom Carmody, a giant woodsman who can read tracks like anyone else reads a newspaper. Together, this Old West odd couple battles hired shootists, a gang of hired gunmen, and raiding Comanche war parties - and in their spare time occupies themselves by creatively getting on each other's nerves. At the end of a final confrontation lurks an unspeakable secret that has been hushed in the shadows of the Valley of the Lesser Evil.
