Lost and alone on her way from Independence, Missouri to Oregon, Jessie Gibson has only the memories of her slaughtered family to keep her warm at night. But she's a brave, independent woman who is determined to make it all the way to Oregon despite the hard trail ahead of her.
A trail made harder by Dusty Bridges.
Dusty is in the middle of a cattle drive when he and the other cowboys he rides with find Jessie struggling to make a fire to ward off all manner of nightmarish terrors. Brazen and bawdy, Dusty isn't one to save anyone - but something about how Jessie doesn't want to be saved makes him want to prove the upstart wrong.
Ride off into the sunset with Dusty and Jessie in… Mean Heat.
