The story is about Lucas McCain and his son, Mark McCain. Mark's mother and Lucas' wife was killed by bandits, breaking Lucas' heart forever and making him swear to always take care of Mark and those who can't defend themselves. Lucas wins enough money in a turkey shooting contest to buy a plot in New Mexico, but soon discovers that the town nearby is on the brink of falling apart due to crime. Lucas dedicates his time to protecting the town and looking to kill the fastest man in the West.
