Billy Ray, self-taught itinerate preacher, former hard-working miner and Saturday Night brawler, faces his own temptations in the wilderness of the Old West. Called to be pastor of a divided flock in a frontier town held in the grip of a lawless cattle baron, Billy tries to bring his parishioners together, and repair the abandoned little church in the middle of town. Billy must win his place in a community that 'doesn't want any preacher changing things.' A beautiful mysterious woman crosses Billy's path, stirring up feelings he not sure he should have 'working in the Lord's pasture.' There's a fight brewing, and Billy Ray may have to pick up his guns or put up his fists to save himself, his church and the town.
