Imma once dreamed of leaving her isolated desert town and becoming a bullet catcher: an outlaw who can fend off bullets with a bare hand. After all, that’s the cause her brother Nikko died for, and Imma would do anything to keep his legacy alive—especially after losing their parents put them both in an orphanage.  

But that was before. Now, the bullet catchers are gone and Imma’s future is as dried up as Sand, the name of the dead-end town she lives in. That is, until a real bullet catcher shows up and everything changes. Determined to learn everything he has to teach her, Imma crosses the treacherous desert in search of a destiny that will mean something. What she finds is a conflict between bullet catchers and gunslingers simmering beneath years of betrayal, corruption, and thirst for power. When everything Imma knows about bullet catchers is called into question, the side she chooses to fight for will determine more than her own fate.
