He's Out of Jail, and Ready for Revenge

Western

Clay Lomax, a bank robber, gets out of jail after an 7 year sentence. He is looking after Sam Foley, the man who betrayed him. Knowing that, Foley hires three men to pay attention of Clay's steps. The things get complicated when Lomax, waiting to receive some money from his ex-lover, gets only the notice of her death and an 7 year old girl, sometimes very annoying, presumed to be his daughter.

VIBE

A grim, dusty Western where a hardened ex-con navigates a brutal landscape of betrayal and unexpected responsibility. It's a slow burn of simmering rage and reluctant connection, punctuated by stark violence and a profound sense of weary fatalism.
