For thousands of years on this earth the mix of animals, plants and birds of the air have lived together and nearly all have survived. A few have become extinct for some reason or other, probably due to atmospheric changes over the earth's surface. It seems that the predators and prey have remained about equal. If they had not, there would have been some change and one would have become extinct. Most of the animals, birds, insects etc, are pretty much divided between predator and prey, which would keep a balance. Only the vegetarians are not among the predator class. They do not prey on any animal, insect or fowl, but they are prey for any of the larger predators, the meat eaters. When man first appeared on this earth, in whatever shape or form, it appears that he was both a meat eater and a vegetable eater. He then became both a predator and prey. He began to eat meat and had to learn to defend himself against larger animals and predators that wanted to eat him. A normal natural way of controlling population was changed by man's greater intelligence giving him weapons to defend himself against any predator. This made him the strongest and greatest predator.

When Adam “Mac” McCulough loses his wife, Abby, in 1876, he is left to bring up his four young daughters, Sara, Becky, Julie, and Angela. Mac, a rancher and the sheriff of nearby Elkhorn, calls on his longtime friend Ezra Hawks, a half–White Mountain Apache, to help him on his ranch and to raise his girls. Together, the men teach the daughters to shoot, hunt, fish, track, and survive in the wild. Life rolls along for this unusual family, but an incident from Mac’s past comes back to haunt him. Before settling down with Abby, he worked as an Arizona Ranger and played a key role in the capture and conviction of a group of men who beat and raped a family in Prescott. The men, now released from jail, track down Mac and exact their revenge. Sara, Becky, Julie, and Angela are determined not to let the men get away with the murder of their father. They strike out on their own to hunt down the killers, but their quest for vengeance may come with a high price.
