In Kehoe, a Colorado ski resort, Nels Coxman keeps the winter roads clear with his snowplow, and the town has just named him Citizen of the Year. Then his son Kyle is found dead of a heroin dose, and Nels insists the young man was no user. His wife Grace, distressed, leaves for a time. A bloodied stranger named Dante takes shelter in Nels's storage shed and says his lost bag of cocaine brought the killers down on Kyle, who knew nothing about it; he gives up one name, Speedo. Nels takes a rifle and goes after the only name he has.
