Synopsis
An old friend of Curt's, Deacon Stuart, has been accused as the perpetrator of several brutal serial murders, and he asks for Curt's help in finding the real killer. Meanwhile, a vigilante by the name of Deathwish has been making a name for himself by killing criminals, even those who have served their prison time. When Hardware and Deathwish meet at the site of the latest serial murder, they each assume the other is the culprit.
