Word travels slowly across a desert plane. By the time Blue Covington arrived back to La Plateau after word that his family ranch had been taken over by marauders, he found another mystery plaguing the townsfolk.

Three musicians have been singing death songs, terrorizing the locals. Those who can leave are fleeing, but pride keeps others around, hoping a death song isn't sung for them. Those unfortunates don't make it through the night, and the aftermath is a testament to brutality.

After such a strange homecoming, Blue seeks guidance from an old flame. Louise uses her psychic abilities, but the cloud of darkness hanging over La Plateau is thick. The people are scared. Blue has to face the fears of an entire town and partner up with unlikely allies to have a chance at getting the family ranch back from a gang of psychopaths with one motive: vengeance against Blue Covington.

Who's name will be on the lips that sing the next death song?
