Today, Vulture City is a ghost town in Arizona that many tourists like to visit. They can walk among the remaining buildings that once housed shops, saloons, and even a red-light district.

Many of these old buildings were constructed from rocks brought out of the Vulture City Gold Mines. And after exploring these old mines and ruins, before leaving, some of the tourists may even stop to see the old hanging tree that somehow has managed to survive through all these years.

No one really knows how the mine got its name, but the town was populated up to the early 1940's before it was finally abandoned. This story is much earlier.

Some of the people in the story fought in the Mexican War of 1846-1848, but most of the story takes place in the 1860's during the Civil War. Vulture City during those years was a wide-open mining town where fist fights, gun fights and robberies happened all too often.

A place where the sheriff needed to be strong, fearless, and fast with his gun in order to survive. This story is about two men who have lost all hope of ever having decent lives because of an event beyond their control has put them both on different paths of self-destruction.

Yet, the wrongful act of one entangles both men with an unforeseen opportunity to make right choices that could lead them back to lives with hope and love, maybe even redemption. .
