It was as if the YELLOW SKY had sought them out... where fate had forgotten them and life had left them behind!

CrimeWestern

In 1867, a gang led by James "Stretch" Dawson robs a bank and flees into the desert. Out of water, the outlaws come upon a ghost town called Yellow Sky and its only residents, a hostile young woman named Mike and her grandpa. The story is a Western adaptation of William Shakespeare's "The Tempest".

VIBE

A sun-baked, existential Western where desperate outlaws confront their own mortality and the ghosts of their past in a desolate, forgotten town. It's a slow burn towards a reckoning under a relentless desert sky.
