In 1873 New Mexico Territory, a man awakens injured in the desert with a strange metal bracelet attached to his left wrist and no memory.

Percy's father, Colonel Woodrow Dolarhyde, a wealthy, powerful cattleman, arrives with armed men, demanding that Percy be released and that Jake, who has stolen gold from him, be handed over.

Meanwhile, Jake travels to an abandoned cabin and, in a flashback, recalls returning there with stolen gold, only to be abducted, along with his lover Alice, by the aliens.
