Inverness, Scotland, 1820. The Highland Whiskey Wars are in full swing, and the revenge lynching of two agents of the Crown for the beating death of a young Bootlegger has put local law enforcement on notice. That is until a deputy from Sterling, a murderous, ax wielding maniac named Lemley Hogg, is called in to put law and order back in play. But it's revenge, and not the law, that is foremost on Hogg's mind.
