Two families. One feud. No going back.

DramaThriller

Shotgun Stories tracks a feud that erupts between two sets of half brothers following the death of their father. Set against the cotton fields and back roads of Southeast Arkansas, these brothers discover the lengths to which each will go to protect their family.

VIBE

A stark, simmering tale of fractured brotherhood and inherited violence. It feels like the humid air before a storm, heavy with unspoken resentments and the slow build toward inevitable confrontation. A raw, character-driven downer.
