A group of outlaws on the run from the law find themselves in the mysterious town of Refuge. There, neither the Sheriff nor his Deputy carry side arms and there is no jail either. If you walk around about the town you will discover that everyone seems to endeavor to a peaceful utilitarian life.
People are friendly, helpful, and generous.
However when the church bell rings and you feel the ground quake, you'll find all of the citizens at the church in attendance without fail. Go outside the town and you will see a very sad Indian who sits by a gate with so much fog behind it you can't tell what is behind there, but you know it can't be good because the only thing more solemn than the expression on the Indian when he enters the town to collect a citizen, is the face on the citizen following him out as the others watch silently. You might also catch a stage coach delivering new residence and news from abroad and one citizen might receive a white rose with a special message they've been waiting a long time for. You can pass on through or you can stay as long as you are welcomed, but if you are a person up to date on western folklore you might recognize the faces of Wild Bill Hickock, Doc Holliday, Jesse James, and Billy the kid. They will deny it of course, but only for so long and even then you might refuse to believe it yourself because they have all been dead for a long time.
