Lucas Reyes dreams of college and the chance of becoming more than a ranch hand's son. But one fateful night sets his life on a course he couldn't have imagined.

Yancy Grey is running from his troubled, criminal past. He doesn't plan to stick around, just to stay long enough to learn how to exploit the town's weaknesses. Only Yancy isn't prepared for what he encounters...

Secrets run deep in the small town of Ransom Canyon, where the lives of four families intertwine unexpectedly as property, passion, and pride are worth fighting - and even dying - for.
