Plot

Tom's parents are killed by Mexicans after their leader (Van Cleef) rapes his mother as he watched. He sets out to exact revenge and is ultimately helped by a successful gold prospector who has been robbed by the same group.

Having witnessed the brutal murder of his father, the horrific sexual assault of his mother, and the abduction of his innocent young sister by McClain's ruthless gang of cut-throats, Tom, the lucky fifteen-year-old survivor, swears revenge. Hell-bent on making them pay in blood, Tom embarks on a life-or-death quest to avenge his family, relentlessly pursuing the leader and his jackals in the unforgiving desert. As Tom crosses paths with Isaac, a compassionate prospector who has reasons to see McClain and his bandits suffer, he sets in motion his deadly campaign, methodically picking the perpetrators off with his ingenious traps.
