The gang got run of Valentine after an altercation with the railway magnate, Leviticus Cornwall, who has grown tired of having his trains robbed by gangs of outlaws. Afraid that the routes westwards were being watched by Pinkerton agents, the gang moved south and east and are now hiding at Clemens Cove, near the town of Rhodes. Rhodes is a rundown town that has lost a lot of its Antebellum charm, and is in the grip of a feud between two old local families, the Grays and the Braithwaites. Dutch and Hosea hope to use this dispute to their advantage.
