Day 17 of AUtober: Exploration & Adventure
Western AU
There's a new outlaw gang terrorizing the frontier, robbing trains, stealing horses, and somehow always managing to escape the hangman's noose. They may seem charming and less murderous than other outlaw groups, but don't be fooled folks! These boys* are dangerous!
And since they're so keen on relieving the rich of their valuables, the wealthy are eager to have them brought to justice, no matter the cost.
-> Steve Harrington is the son of a rich business tycoon, who has broken away from his parents and the privileged life they gave him, and all the strings that came with it, to become the charming smooth talking leader of a gang of outlaws. Relieving the rich of their excesses and for the most part leaving the normal folks alone.
-> From a poor and unhappy background, Billy Hargrove struck out on his own quite young and has since used his determination, work ethic, and horsemanship skills to build a somewhat decent life for himself. That is until he gets accused of being in league with a gang of bandits, and will be held accountable for their crimes if he can't bring them in to answer for them themselves.
(*Not all of the gang are boys)
