A tense standoff unfolds in the dusty town of San Miguel, where Preacher Elias Creed shelters Judd Tanner, a wounded man with a dark secret. Judd confesses to killing Elias’s brother Ben over a lost silver vein in the Jornada, claiming Ben burned the map but left a carved marker as proof. As Tom Barrow and his crew back off, a new threat rides in—five hard-eyed strangers led by the scarred Reese, hunting Judd. Elias hides him in the church’s crawlspace, facing down Reese’s demand to hand him over or see the church torn apart. Caught between vengeance, loyalty, and the truth about his brother, Elias stands firm in a tinderbox town where the wind howls like a banshee and every choice could ignite a firestorm.
