Orson Deadeye

Orson “Deadeye” Cain survived the noose once. Cottonridge may test him again.

Twenty-three years ago, sharpshooter Orson rode into a burning ranch and rode out branded a murderer. He saved a child from the flames and disappeared before the law could hang him.

Now, older and carrying a damaged gun hand, Orson drifts into Cottonridge, Arizona, where irrigation headgates decide who eats and who starves. A disciplined outlaw gang strikes canals and freight lines with precision. Each attack is followed by Federal Marshal Frank tightening his grip, claiming order while seizing control of the valley’s water.

The pattern is clear: fear first, authority after.
