Through coincidences of fate and personality, some people seem to do the impossible and make it seem easy. Dan Mesa, former teacher and current Arizona Ranger, is just such a man. He never sought to become a hero; it just happened. A key member of the Rangers unit in Tucson, Dan is called on to head east, where he picks up William J. Ranson, transporting him to Arizona to testify against Carlos Meana, a trafficker in illegal aliens and murder for hire. Dan's involvement earns him the notice of an eastern crime syndicate who also has ties in Dan's hometown of Tucson. Suddenly, there's a price on his head but he's not a man to go down without a fight. Despite dealing with the fallout of killing the man who was once his best friend, Dan will protect the people he cares about, including his son and neighbors at all costs. East meets west as the mob comes to Arizona, and only time will tell which will come out on top.

Dan Mesa knows men like him are a vanishing breed. Once upon a time, he was a rodeo cowboy. He served in Viet Nam and the first Gulf War. He believes a man should stand up for himself and what he believes in, which is why hes good at teaching high school. In the classroom, Dan expects nothing less than respect, and he will not back down. Just like the time he ran across a bank robbery In his Arizona hometown, Dan witnesses a ranger get shot in the shoulder by one of the robbers fleeing the scene and he immediately runs to the aid of the fallen officer. Who knew just a few steps could change a mans life forever? The Arizona ranger deputizes Dan and tells him to prevent the criminals escape. Having been in combat before, Dan doesnt hesitate, and thirty minutes later, hes a true Wild West hero. Turning in his teaching boots, Dan becomes an official member of the Arizona Rangers, where he can expect action, adventure, and some serious danger. The days of Wyatt Earp may be over, but that doesnt mean all the bad cowboys are gone. Dan is ready to track them down and face them, head-to-head. A teacher becomes a law man, and it only took a couple heroic steps to change the history of the Grand Canyon State forever.
