A Powerful Western Tale of Revenge and Redemption

Western

Jim Douglass arrives in the small town of Rio Arriba in order to witness the hanging of the four men he believes murdered his wife. When the convicts escape, Jim tracks them into Mexico, determined to see that justice is done. But the farther Jim goes in his quest for vengeance, the more merciless he becomes, losing himself in an unrelenting spiral of hatred and violence.

VIBE

A grim, morally complex Western where the pursuit of vengeance erodes the soul. It's a stark, sun-baked journey into the heart of darkness, questioning the true cost of retribution.
