He gave the West justice right up to its neck... then rammed more down its throat.

Western

While passing through the town of Bannock, a bunch of drunken cattlemen go overboard with their celebrating and accidentally kill an old man with a stray shot. They return home to Sabbath unaware of his death. Bannock lawman Jered Maddox later arrives there to arrest everyone involved on a charge of murder. Sabbath is run by land baron Vince Bronson, a benevolent despot, who, upon hearing of the death, offers restitution for the incident.

VIBE

This is a grim, unforgiving western where justice is a bloody, brutal affair. Expect stark landscapes and morally grey characters navigating a harsh frontier where vengeance is often the only law.
