Gunslinger

Fourteen-year-old Connor Mack dreams of a life adventure while stuck plowing, doing all the chores, and being treated as a slave on the half barren family spread in East Texas. He plans to one day flee the beatings delivered by his hulking older brothers and lazy pa. But he knows if he does, he must take his twin sister Abby - who is not always right in the head - with him. 

While waiting for his quarry to arrive in the mining town of Willimet, Hicks joins a pair of outlaws with a scheme to find a lost cache of gold. With Hicks gone, Conner and Abby are welcomed into the home of a local widow - the richest lady in town with a deadly secret agenda. When the widow develops an unnatural attachment to Abby, and her three unbalanced sons turn deadly, the beautiful mansion on the hill turns into a possessed house of horrors.

An ostensibly simple but hazardous job of delivering some much-needed nitroglycerin components to a burgeoning railroad town in the Arizona Territory proves problematic for the trio of River Hicks, Connor Mack, and his twin sister, Abby. Along the way they rescue a Chinese man on the verge of being lynched by a pack of crooked deputies. Moved by the Chinese man's tale of his quest to free his beautiful fiancee from the savage grip of human traffickers, they are surprised and dismayed to find the girl is being held in the town of Woodman, which is their own destination. 

Gunman River Hicks, along with twins Connor and Abby Mack, his wary teenage trail companions, stop in Abilene to catch their breath. But when Abby kills the sheriff's son in self-defense, they are forced to flee to Colorado, pursued by a vengeful posse. Signing on as regulators for the Rocky Mountain Railroad, they are assigned to protect a gold shipment. Loaded with business magnates, miners, gamblers, and deadbeats, the train lacks only a spark to explode into violence.
