Description

Buck Brady spends his days whittling thin pine shavings in the dusty office of Mojave Wells, a sun‑baked outpost that hardly appears on a map. The sheriff’s quiet ritual masks a sharper mind as he watches the town fill with thirsty cowboys after the roundup. When the lean Ben Dolan rides in early, he warns Buck of a brewing showdown: two rival gangs, led by Bud Hickman and Pete Asher, have pledged to settle a love triangle over a girl named Rosie Smith once the sun sets.

The promise of a truce until dusk hangs over the Desert Well Saloon like a loaded gun. As the rival riders tumble into town, Buck must decide whether to keep the peace with his steady hand or become the trigger for a deadly night. Listeners are drawn into a tense, cracked‑leather world where a simple grievance can erupt into gunfire, and a sheriff’s patience is tested by the heat of the desert and the heat of human pride.
