The Preacher, the Pistol, and the Noose - an action-packed, Old West thrill ride!

In the spring of 1893, Clayton Stevens, pastor of the local church in Silverton, Texas, enlists the help of an unlikely ally to set out after his niece after she was abducted by a violent gang of outlaws during a stagecoach robbery that took the life of her parents. 

After a string of unfortunate events, and feeling he had no other options and nothing left to lose, Clayton finds himself on the trail of the infamous McCarty gang in a battle for life and death to rescue his sole-surviving relative before it’s too late.
