California, 1920. Tucker Hicks, a working cowboy and WWI Medal of Honor winner, returns home from war hoping to settle into a peaceful life with his beautiful wife Olivia. But what he finds at home is much the same as what he left; a town where Native American and Latino members of the community are looked upon as second class citizens, and subject to harsh treatment from law enforcement and government officials. When Tucker's childhood friend Carlos is arrested for a petty crime, then assaulted by his captors in unspeakable ways, Tucker's honor drives him to seek justice for his friend. Even if it means doing what he swore he would never do again after the war... kill.

Olivia's kidnapping by corrupt deputy Otis Huckabee turns out to be a smoke screen for Otis' real intent, to begin running illegal whiskey and tequila from Mexico with the aid of bandit leader Juan Pedro Lopez. While Tucker and his good friend James Hamilton ride to track down the men who took his wife, Sheriff Eubanks seeks to arrest Tucker for the murder of two of his deputies. Meanwhile, a long running feud between opium dealer Queen Lu and brothel madam Mrs. Murphy comes to the surface, while Frisco Kate, a prostitute with eyes on Mrs. Murphy's empire, plays one side against the other, with the kidnapped Olivia as her pawn. Queen Lu has an ace up her sleeve as well. She knows Mrs. Murphy's true identity, and that information could land the madam in prison for the rest of her life.

While Sheriff Eubanks lingers in the hospital, Tucker and Jim set out alone to find Olivia's kidnappers. Meanwhile, Frisco Kate makes a move to unseat Mrs. Murphy with the help of opium boss Queen Lu, knowing that Mrs. Murphy's true identity would be of great interest to the Pinkertons.

As Tucker closes in on Olivia's captors, his PTSD is becoming more unmanageable, with flashbacks from the war in France hindering his abilities, and Otis is finding Mrs. Murphies demands for more money are stretching thin his already limited patience.
