Zgodba je postavljena v malo teksaško mestece Frontera na ameriško-mehiški meji. Tam spoznamo mestnega šerifa Sama Deedsa, ki že od nekdaj živi v senci pokojnega očeta, bivšega šerifa Buddyja. Ko v bližini mesta najdejo truplo, mora Sam raziskati umor, pri tem na dan privrejo dolgo potlačene skrivnosti in se odprejo stare čustvene rane. Vse skupaj pa se še bolj zaplete, ko se izkaže, da je bil v umor morda vpleten tudi Samov oče.
