Meanwhile, Jade has been enjoying her vacation at the ranch, a cherished retreat that contrasts with her tumultuous past, including the trauma of escaping an abusive brother. Here, the supportive presence of the ranch's men has helped her reclaim her sense of self.
However, their peace is shattered when an unknown gun for hire attempts to take Jade's life one fateful night.
