A tedious job tracking down a runaway wife takes a violent turn when he finds himself in a bar with ex-con Enos Walker, whos out for revenge on the partners who turned him in. Turning a gun on Walker, bar manager Billy Long has accidently shot himself and the police are only too keen to add his murder to the long list of crimes Walkers in the frame for.
Only Milos testimony can save him from a death sentence, but Milos got problems of his own in the shape of sultry lawyer Molly McBride.
Hurtling from the plains of Texas to the desert town of Las Vegas, from the freezing Montana mountains to the Gulf of Mexico and the final bloody showdown, The Final Country is a non-stop roller-coaster ride that will leave you breathless.
