Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Jake Stone is a bounty hunter working out of Denver. Over the years the forty-something-year-old manhunter has excelled to the point that he has been given a Special Deputy U. S. Marshal’s badge, allowing him to be called upon when a deputy might not otherwise be available. This badge also opens a lot of doors that might otherwise be closed. Stone never hesitates to use that position to his advantage. ★ In this first episode, Stone rides into a sleepy little town in northern New Mexico. He’s not sure he’s on the right trail of the escaped killers until one of them attempts to bushwhack him. Following a long chase, he is forced to kill one after taking them into custody. After chaining the surviving prisoner in the town’s ramshackle jail, he meets a Mexican lady who has a personal vendetta against the killer. The hanging she anticipates taking place is foiled when the inept town law allows two lowlifes to facilitate a jailbreak in hopes the prisoner will share the loot from a bank robbery.As Stone prepares to track this killer for the second time, the Mexican lady insists on accompanying him, stating that she intends to kill this animal herself. At first, Stone refuses, but she is not to be denied. She states she will either ride alongside or follow behind him. Given no choice, he relents.As they chase this desperado along the Canadian River in northern New Mexico there are times Stone is pleased that the woman is alongside him. Other times, he's not so sure. All in all, it makes for one incredible and deadly pursuit.Ride along with Jake Stone as he encounters ever-present danger and occasional romance in what was once the wild west frontier.
