From the back cover: "No two ways about it: the town of Burned Bush Wells sits snugly in the back pocket of Mr. Lyle Underhay, businessman. Now, unlike some of the other merchants in town, Underhay's dealings have been pretty underhanded. Now your band of riders stands at the edge of town, a cold norther at your back that cuts through even the wolf pelts slung across your saddles. The skins will draw a decent price in the general store, and you'll draw attention: from the good citizens; from a group of tough-looking rounders that seem to walk into trouble before it starts; from a small spunky band of shop owners; perhaps from Underhay himself. Burned Bush Wells is a Boot Hill Wild West Module that provides both town and wilderness adventures set in the dead of winter."
