In the early 1990s in West Texas, three ambitious young men begin their ascent to notoriety within their small town crime organization as they navigate the treacherous underworld of drugs, gambling, and illicit deals. Their rise to power brings both wealth and danger, testing their bonds and morality in a world where trust is fragile and betrayal is commonplace.

While the original title, "Trailing the Killer" isn't a misnomer, it was a bit misleading since the "trailer" is a dog named Caesar (Caesar the Dog) and the killer is a mountain lion. But the makers also pointed out that Caesar "is the most intelligent dog actor since Rin-Tin-Tin" which probably lured a few Rin-Tin-Tin fans with a show-me attitude. Caesar prowls around the woods of the Northwest, dispatches a rattlesnake, visits his she-wolf mate and their pups, pauses to watch the dainty habits of a raccoon personally washing every morsel of food before eating it---and that raccoon had enough food to use up several minutes of running time---and then saves sheepherder Pierre (Francis McDonald)) from getting eaten by one mean mountain lion. Rin-Tin-Tin he ain't, but then who was?

Two young farmhands, led by an experienced prospector, venture up the dangerous and haunted Shine Mountain in search of life-changing fortune.
