All Logan is trying to do is get back to Texas after a cattle drive to New Mexico Territory. But as well as being a rancher, he is a water-witch, and thats his downfall. By coincidence, he sees a broadside offering $50.00 for a dowser to come to Liberty Prison and witch a new well. Thats too good to pass up, but thats where his problems begin. Libertys warden has no intention of paying for a well -- he keeps Logan as an inmate. Logan has to escape the prison, evade those hunting him, and survive desert heat, unnatural gully washers, and hungry cougars.
