Sheriff Jess Casey and his oddball band of sidekicks have pulled off the impossible, taming Hells Half Acre, the most lawless town in Texas. But now the no-good politicians in Austin have decided its cheaper to dump hordes of criminals on Jess Caseys town than hanging em. And in one dreadful week it seems as if the gates of Hell have burst open. Freed outlaws, gunslingers, bandits, rapists, desperados, drifters and miscreants are roaming Hells Half Acre -- and Jess and his deputies are running out of bullets fast.
