Reed Justus was a scout for the Confederate States during the war between the States. He was a Searcher of men who possessed a unique skill only a few possess. When not working he was self destructive and a town drunk.
Jethro McDougal needed the services of a Searcher of the caliber of Reed Justus’ ability. He found him in a saloon and his unkempt appearance made him wonder if this man could do the job.
McDougal decided he would take the chance but only time would tell if Justus was really the one known as the Searcher!
