John discovers that his estranged son Isaac is now an outlaw wanted for murder. He sets out to find his son and clear his name. John finds him hiding out and decides to accompany Isaac as he travels to Grapevine Texas - where his criminal partner is waiting with his half of the money they stole. John hides him in the back of his wagon and sneaks him out of town (no one thinks to search a preacher's wagon). Henley, the man Isaac stole the money from, is right on their tail. Over the course of their travels the odd-couple of Isaac the outlaw and John the pator mend their troubled relationship and learn from each other.
