He was a U.S. Marshal but the name they called him was ... The Hangman.

Western

A marshal nicknamed "The Hangman" because of his track record in hunting down and capturing wanted criminals traces a robbery suspect to a small town. However, the man is known and liked in the town, and the citizens band together to try to help him avoid capture.

VIBE

A dusty, morally ambiguous Western where a stoic lawman's pursuit of a wanted man tests the bonds of a small town. Expect simmering tension and a thoughtful exploration of justice versus community loyalty.
