Wounded and on the run, notorious gunman Quirt Evans (Lou Diamond Phillips) takes refuge with a sympathetic Quaker family. As he recovers, he begins to fall for the family’s beautiful daughter (Deborah Kara Unger), and the hardened criminal begins to reconsider his violent ways in favor of the family’s peaceful, simple life. But Quirt’s past won’t let him escape that easily. Not only is he tempted by a lucrative offer made by his former partner, Randy (Brendan Wayne), but his deadly rival, Loredo (Luke Perry), the man who wounded him, is hot on his trail and looking to finish the job.
