Boston Jacks arrived in Hardship, Arizona on the evening stage just in time to witness an angry mob of people in front of the jail calling for the release of Cain Spooner, who just happened to be an old friend. Boston intervened and won his release from jail with nothing but a deck of cards. Boston Jacks was dressed in a very colorful yellow and white, dude looking suit with a bowtie. Good looking, and looked like anything but someone to be taken serious. It was true, Boston was very unusual; he played poker professionally, and was a professional musician, while also being a man to fear with a gun when he strapped one on. Hardship, Arizona was about to find out about all these talents. Boston Jacks would prove smart, unsuspecting and dangerous as he sat out on what his mother called Boston's Quest.
