The Hourglass of el Diablo takes place in the Old West during a time when the terrain was hostile, and gunslingers ran throughout the countryside, bringing fear to anyone who crosses their path.
A young boy, Jed, is forced to endure his father's wrath after his mother's unexpected death. When he raises a young colt whose dam dies during birth, it is the first time he learns what loving another truly means.
As he seeks ways to escape his abusive father, Jed gets a job at the livery stable in town. One evening, upon returning home, he is freed from the brutal acts of an abusive parent when his father leaves suddenly. In his continued search for love, he befriends the devil, himself.
The partnership leads to unimaginable wealth for many years, until it finally costs him everything, including the one being who showed him unconditional love.
