Spoilers ahead
In 1873, the gunfighter Clint Cooper rides back into Shelby, Montana, after two years away, carrying the weight of a disgraceful departure. He had killed two hot-tempered yet inexperienced young men in self-defense, a moment that still gnaws at him as the father of those young men, Tom Morrison, believes Cooper murdered them. Clint’s plan is simpler than the town’s chatter suggests: settle down, claim his recently deceased father’s ranch, and marry his former love, Helen Reed.
