         One hundred years from the present, society as we know it has collapsed. Wars, plagues, famine…They’ve all taken their toll on the world. Governments have collapsed and new ones formed.

         A new age is upon us.

         Life that resembles the Wild West has taken place over the years after, almost all knowledge of before the fall was forgotten. Small towns live their lives, as normal as ever. People work their jobs, children play their games, and sheriffs protect them from the ever going groups of outlaws. The most infamous and their followers make the rules outside of the town (and sometimes in).

         It’s such a trivial matter. Inlaws see them two ways. One: They’re evil, no good, dirty, rotten people! They rob banks, take advantage of women, burn things for no reason. Terrorists, they are! And on the other hand: They haven’t hurt me any. They don’t really do much.

         Depends on what side of the lucky coin you’re on.

         Tristan Turner. Big Stallion, Mustang Turner. He was the leader of the Turner Canyon Brothers. Son of the Tristan Turner that brought the beyond infamous band of outlaws together, he was like him in every way, keeping the name "Turner" a menacing one.

         Over the years, however, he acquired his own. Among being the so called most ruthless and heartless man around, he became known for his wise ass remarks, jokes, and a trademark smirk that seemed to grace his lips no matter the situation. No one could bring him off his pedestal or leaves marks that compared to the marks he left. Not even the Black Riders, an equally infamous group of banditas, who try to copy the Canyon Brother, as Tristan put it, 'cause he was 'there first.'

         That all changed when two people entered his life; Colette McKendrick and Lukas Harrison. She was the uncanny love interest, a law abiding seamstress. He was truly a ruthless and heartless man, a town sheriff and mayor interested on bring Tristan down when he wasn't busy with a vendetta against the queen bee of the Black Riders, Maria Willows.

         Tristan changed considerably after he fell, and fell hard, for Colette. She grounded him in ways no one else could no matter how much they paid him. And Lukas, after he somehow got wind of their romance, chose to exploit it, seeing this as the perfect opportunity to bring about Tristan's demise. But things then took a very unexpected turn...

         Two weeks after a bank robbery was so rudely interrupted by Lukas, he revealing he had taken Mustang Turner's 'doll', who was 'a criminal in her own right' for romancing the outlaw, they disappeared, without a trace. Then rumors surfaced that Colette had been killed, only to be confirmed by another mayor when Tristan sent a relatively unknown man to find out. Still, Lukas was no where to be found.

         A short time later, Tristan disappeared as well, leaving the whole county (even in-laws and sheriffs) dumbfounded at Lukas' apparent victory. He warned no one and took nothing, not even his beloved horse Savvi, but a locket that belong to his dead love and a dagger that belonged to his dead sister. Ironically, Lukas returned about a month later, back to running his town with an iron fist.

         It has been seven years since Tristan Turner disappeared.

         He's back.
