Jim Killian killed like an artist. This is the story of his masterpiece.

Western

Jim Killian arrives in a small Arizona town hoping to establish a peaceful life as the local preacher, but he soon finds himself in the middle of a feud between sheep ranchers and cattlemen. Leloopa, a young Native American woman, pleads for Killian's help after her shepherd father is hung by Coke Beck, the vicious son of the head cattle rancher. Killian must weigh his actions carefully lest he perpetuate the cycle of retribution and revenge.

VIBE

A grim and morally complex Western where a man of peace is drawn into a brutal cycle of violence. It feels like a dusty, sun-baked reckoning, questioning the very nature of justice and retribution in a lawless land.
