The Curry brothers are a couple of friendly guys. So when brother Abe gets gunned down by menacing gunman Clegg over little or nothing, brother Morgan looks to Matt to avenge his brother's killing. But what's Matt to do since it appears Abe drew first.
Strong story. We expect Matt and Clegg to have a showdown, but what will trigger it since technically Clegg has not broken the law. Here, the story gets interesting and unconventional. At the same time, an unexpected moral question arises. My only misgiving is with the actor playing Clegg (Liam Sullivan) who projects unevenly from one scene to the next. Otherwise, it's a strong series entry.
