A storm is brewing in Toussaint between the ranchers and environmentalists, and it's up to Du Pre to stop the bloodshed Two men have been cutting fences at the ranches of Toussaint, Montana, loosing thousands of dollars of cattle to use as target practice for their .22 rifles. Are they thieves? Pranksters? Local cattle inspector Gabriel Du Pre guesses they're environmentalists agitating for the reintroduction of native wolves to Montana's high plains. Du Pre knows that the environmentalists are trying to send a message to the ranchers of eastern Montana. He also has a hunch that they are already dead. When the activists are found shot to death, Du Pre attempts to contain the chaos. The FBI descends, but their agents are as clueless in this territory as the hapless environmentalists. One of Toussaint's citizens committed this crime, killing to protect the traditional way of ranching life, a loyalty that Du Pre shares. If anyone's going to arrest his people, it will be the cattle inspector himself
