  Plot: In 1860, Thomas Stone, a lawman and farmer, reunites with his wife Willow and their daughter Harley, who has recently been expelled from school for fighting a bully, although she did not strike first and was only defending herself. Thomas expresses his proudness to Harley for standing up for herself, but is disappointed in the school for being indifferent to the importance of a child defending herself. To make Harley feel better, Thomas takes her on patrol with him and teaches her how to handle horses and to shoot guns. However, as they go home, they realize that they are walking into a trap. Telling Harley to hide, Thomas draws his gun and opens fire on his attackers, but is soon overpowered and fatally shot. Helplessly, Harley watches in horror as an outlaw named Marcus Kane shoots Thomas dead at point blank range. After the gang leaves, Harley takes her father's guns and swears revenge. Wanting to protect everyone she cares about, Harley runs away and leaves Reno, now declared missing.

  Fifteen years later in 1875, Harley is now an outlaw known as the "Lone Wolf". She has yet to find Kane and makes a living by hunting down infamous gangs to protect the less fortunate. However, when Harley receives news that Kane's men have robbed a bank, she reluctantly sets out to Reno for answers. Upon arriving at Reno, Harley enters the saloon and reunites with its owner, Lila Harris, who is her childhood best friend. However, as they have a conversation, a child is about to be killed by bullies with her abusive parents watching. Before this can happen, Harley saves the her and, by force, sends the bullies crying to their familes, much to the dismay of the girl's abusive parents. An enraged Harley challenges the father to a duel outside, and he accepts, overconfidently boasting that he will win. Harley draws first and wins easily, gaining significant attention and praise from many citizens for standing up against a needlessly abused child's parents.

  Ethan Willis, the sheriff of Reno, arrests the father and, despite his reluctance to help Harley as she does not live on legal boundaries, allows Harley to press charges against the mother, and Lila is given custody of the child, as she is revealed to be her maternal aunt. Lila also points out to Harley that despite standing up for the girl many times, she still had to watch helplessly as she suffered more and more abuse. Restarting the conversation the two friends had, Harley and Lila catch up on their childhood memories. After that ends, Harley discreetly explains why she has returned to Reno. Lila reveals that several of Kane's men had gone rogue against him and are currently in the town as they speak. Harley then notices the board with names of people lined up to duel, next to Lila's desk and realizes that the next two weeks will be days of great gunfights. She then asks Lila to sign her up, as the next day is a day among those two weeks, and Lila agrees, but not before Harley takes note of Lila's warning that these fights are incredibly dangerous.
