Synopsis

Two-time Spur Award nominee Cameron Judd spins Westerns that lasso listeners' attention. In this inspiring story of self-sacrifice, menacing dangers spur 17-year-old Pennington Malone to grow up quickly. With his father in Leavenworth Prison, Penn travels to Dodge City packing his dad's loaded sixgun. He soon meets Jonah Littlejohn, a lanky man gifted with incredible strength and boxing prowess-and haunted by painful secrets. But when Penn learns that three shadowy riders are trailing him-and framing him for murders they commited-he needs all the help he can get.
