What if?
What. If?
Dutch Van der Linde.
One of the most wanted men, along with his companions; Hosea Matthews, Susan Grimshaw, Arthur Morgan, and John Marston.
A gang of outlaws. A family of misfits.
You know the story, and how it goes, and how it ends. But what if things were different?
What if Dutch had something to protect, to keep him sane through their downfall? What if Arthur had someone smart enough to avoid his death? What if the Van Der Linde Gang had someone watching their backs? What if the rat was someone else, and Micah really is just an asshole?
