Death is about to descend upon tiny Muleshoe, Kansas. Mike Bishop has arrived in the sleepy little town on a mission to recover a legendary cache of rare gold coins and Confederate currency. But others are racing to recover the treasure as well.

Local Sheriff Laura Moss cautiously joins Bishop in his search. Together they unearth a dark secret; a secret with roots dating back to the Civil War, William Quantrill's planned assassination of President Abraham Lincoln, and an unexplained series of grisly local murders spanning more than a century.

The line between good and evil blurs as Bishop and Sheriff Moss struggle to survive a murderous local legend...a legend that threatens to turn the Kansas prairie black with blood.
