As we go through life we all cut paths. Eventually most paths will cross. The crossing of paths need not become reasons for violence, hate, and greed. Most crossings are good and made without incident. The paths we leave are crossed by many. Those we know, love, and care for, are those who have safely crossed our paths. Scotty Wilson, born on a hardscrabble farm in Northern Texas, wants nothing more than to lead a normal, steady life. His natural abilities with both hand guns and long guns causes his life to be one of tension and dread. Someone always wanting to see just how fast he can draw his handgun. It sickens him, but he tries to make the best of it. He tries to follow the advice given him by an old gun handler: to always do it his way.
