On his first day as game warden in Saddlestring, Wyoming, Joe finds himself in an unexpected situation with a local poacher.
Joe weasels his way into a local murder case and finds himself at odds with some important townsfolk; Marybeth manages the rest of the family at a motel and does some digging of her own.
As Joe and some other brave locals embark on a dangerous trek, Maybeth contemplates going back to the courtroom for what seems like a worthy cause.
Joe enjoys newfound praise after dispatching the presumed murderer, but he isn't convinced the investigation is over; someone is attempting to clean up all the loose ends.
Joe and Marybeth are spooked after the incident at Clyde's trailer and must decide whether or not they want to continue looking for the truth; Sheridan gets an unexpected visitor.
Joe begins to wonder if there's anyone in town who isn't connected to the deeply rooted corruption, and Marybeth works around the clock to try and free Nate.
