Twenty years ago, an infamous outlaw – Gasback – was staring down the barrel of betrayal. His gang was ready to do the world a favor and take him out – until Vash the Stampede interrupted the stand-off, allowing Gasback to escape and continue his outlaw ways. Cutting the villain loose was a risky gamble – and now, two decades later, fate’s ready to settle up with Vash on the dusty streets of Macca City.

Gasback’s crew – including bodyguard-for-hire Wolfwood – is coming to town to cause big trouble. It’s no coincidence that the outpost’s mayor is Gasback’s traitorous ex-right-hand man. The scorned outlaw isn’t the only one looking for vengeance; Amelia, a tough desert rose with a painful past, wants to punish Gasback for the damage he’s done. Everyone involved is about to learn a hard truth about consequences – and Vash the Stampede might end up paying for the lesson with his life.
