Heritage, Wyoming is not an ordinary western town. Along its dusty streets, hidden in its wood-framed buildings and camouflaged amongst its hard working people lurks a monster. He's an evil being-a killer of women and children. This vile creature has to be stopped, but it will take a tenacious, remorseless man to do it. Enter bounty hunter George Dark, an aging loner who has a murderous reputation and few illusions. He drifts into Heritage, a trail worn gunman on a stringy, half dead horse. He's the worst of his kind-tough and deadly. He's been paid a fortune by a dead Mexican to find the killer of the man's family, and when Dark is paid, he always completes the job. What George Dark doesn't realize, however, is that his sense of right and wrong and even his grip on reality will soon be tested. These will be hard lessons for the man they call, The Reaper.
