Bad Company
“They're young, desperate, dangerous—a long way from home, but a short way from Hell.”
WesternDrama
After Drew Dixon, an upright young man, is sent west by his religious family to avoid being drafted into the Civil War, he drifts across the land with a loose confederation of young vagrants.
VIBE
A dusty, sun-baked journey through a morally ambiguous frontier. It feels like a slow fade into a harsh reality, where youthful idealism crumbles under the weight of survival and shifting loyalties.
