At the turn of the 20th century, an elderly gunfighter named J.B. Books travels to Nevada after receiving a cancer diagnosis. Books encounters various individuals with dubious intentions while renting a room from widowed Bond Rogers and her son Gillom, including one who wants to exact revenge for the death of his brother and some others who want to capitalise on Books' popularity. Books comes up with a plan to make a big exit because she doesn't want to pass away quietly or painfully.
