Summary
Scattered and lying low, Arthur and the few lingering members of the Van der Linde gang found themselves marooned in a small desert town where they pass the time posing as new ranch hands for Geddes and drinking bad beer at a dive bar. But what wills the jaded outlaw to the shit hole of a bar each week is the leggy twenty something year old bartender with dark hair and piercing eyes.
Charles coaxes Arthur into doing a simple transport job over the boarder for some quick cash while they wait for further instructions from Dutch. But nothing is ever "simple" in Arthur's life when it comes to crime. Things get even more complicated when the gang finds themselves in a local war between rivaling ranch hands.
The only thing that keeps Arthur from heading out of this dust bowl of a town is the prospect of catching the eye of the young and too eager bartender who holds a past of his own. Despite being a family man and off limits, Arthur would risk anything to keep the attention of the brash bartender with the rough voice and the pretty smile.
Calamity ensues soon enough but for that face, Arthur will say it was all worth it.
