Clay Cole is on the run for a crime he didn`t commit. But it`s getting harder to run when it seems like everywhere he goes people have heard of the man known as the Rainmaker. When a young boy saves Clay`s life, Clay figures the only honorable thing to do is help the boy`s mother in the vicious land battle she`s part of--even if that means staying put for a while. But if he stops running long enough for the past to catch up to him, the Rainmaker may not have much of a future.
