While searching for Brodie's younger brother, Bufford, along with two others suspected of robbery, a shootout ensues, and the sheriff is killed. Brodie is arrested for murder and unexpectedly released. After his release, Brodie moves his family west to start anew.

Discovering Skylar has gone and is uninterested in Gina's scheme, Matt realizes the love of his life may be in more danger than she knows and follows her east. Together, they soon discover she's in the crosshairs of a murderer from 1945. Can they find the truth from that night and stop the killer from reaching Skylar?
