At long last, justice is set to ride into town.
Before the main event, His Honour, Judge Waylon Payne will preside over a sumptuous dinner, where respectable folk, shady outlaws, opportunists and old enemies gather under one roof to witness history in the making.

Just before the festivities begin, murder strikes.
Now, with tensions high and suspicion spreading faster than wildfire, you must step into the boots of your own old west character and uncover the truth before the night descends into complete chaos.
