His men and his sweetheart unfairly blame him for sending the officer out on a suicide mission because they think he was jealous of him. With his reputation in tatters, he must now find a way to stop an imminent Apache attack on the fort. He’ll only have a small group of angry soldiers who are counting on his tactical expertise to keep them alive. But can he whip this group of malcontents and misfits into a fierce fighting force?
