Emory Cross returns to the Lost Daughter Ranch for a brief vacation, only to be ensnared in a one hundred thirty-seven-year-old vendetta against her family. Determined to uncover the roots of this animosity, she faces off against a deranged descendant of the Cooper family-a man notorious for adorning fence posts with decaying cattle skulls to ward off intruders.

Driven by the fierce determination to safeguard her family's legacy and way of life into the 21st century, Emory faces a formidable obstacle: the resurgence of the Coopers, historic adversaries hell-bent on vengeance in Stampede.

As long-simmering tensions escalate, Emory vows to unravel the mystery behind the ancient ambush before it catalyzes a harrowing act of urban terrorism-Colorado style.
