SYNOPSIS

To pass the time while trapped in an abandoned farmhouse during a rising flood in Colorado, the Maverick Brothers tell Dandy Jim Buckley the story behind why they can never return to their home state of Texas: They are wanted for murder. And the only witness that can clear them is the mysterious Tall Man, whom they've been looking for ever since.
