1849 in San Francisco there was no official law enforcement, and the city was ran by Committees of Vigilance. These committees being half police force and half mafioso controlled their particular city district like mini-fiefdoms and completely subject to the will of the usually corrupt strongman leader who ruled their committee with an iron fist. It is this chaotic and dangerous City of San Francisco which Marshall Justice (Lead character) and his love interest Catherine must make their way through, in order to reach the gold fields located in the foothills of the Seirra Mountains. However, that journey is quickly interrupted once the murderous and corrupt leader of the largest, most powerful, and most corrupt committee of vigilance learns of the existence of the highly valuable gold mine claim Catherine owns. Jake, the corrupt leader of that committee of vigilance, is willing to do anything and kill anyone in order to make Catherines gold claim his. As an ex-Calvary officer and brawler Justice believes he is more than up to the task of aiding Catherine in protecting what is hers. However, Catherine is far from a damsel in destress and quickly learns she's going to have to hold her own in this environment where the authority are corrupted murderers and justice is usually only had at the end of a gun barrel.
