A PRO & A CON. The rest is history.

Drama

In the American Southwest of the 1950s, middle-aged vagabond Beaudray Demerille survives as a cardsharp who moves from town to town. But his latest victory brings him unwanted spoils in the form of Wanda Nevada, a fiery 13-year-old. At first Beaudray does everything he can to ditch Wanda -- until the girl chances upon a treasure map. But Wanda and Beaudray aren't the only ones after the loot, and they must contend with a ruthless pair of crooks.

VIBE

A dusty, sun-baked journey through the American West. It feels like a forgotten relic, a melancholic and lonely road trip with unexpected companionship. The grit and desperation are palpable, painting a stark portrait of survival.
