Four O'Clock

Johnny Leach has a good life. He's married to a woman he loves, he lives in a quiet frontier town, and he owns a successful saloon. In some ways, it's a better life than he might deserve. He keeps the past firmly behind him. Not because of what he's done, but because of who lurks there. The man he rode with for ten years. A man a part of him still loves.

A man who rides into town one morning without warning. 

Brody James is running from his own past. His ultimate goal is South America. He claims he stopped to say goodbye to Johnny. He claims he'll catch the four o'clock train to Galveston. But where Brody James goes, trouble follows. Before four o'clock, Johnny and Elizabeth will find their secure world falling into an uncertain future.
