McCord's gang robs the stage carrying money to pay Indians for their land, and the notorious outlaw "The Oklahoma Kid" Jim Kincaid takes the money from McCord. McCord stakes a "sooner" claim on land which is to be used for a new town; in exchange for giving it up, he gets control of gambling and saloons. When Kincaid's father runs for mayor, McCord incites a mob to lynch the old man whom McCord has already framed for murder.

VIBE

A dusty, hard-boiled Western where simmering resentments boil over into explosive violence. It’s a grim tale of outlaws, corruption, and a desperate fight for survival on the unforgiving frontier.
