TOUGH AS A DESERT CACTUS!

Jeremy Rodock is a tough horse rancher who strings up rustlers soon as look at them. Fresh out of Pennsylvania, Steve Miller finds it hard to get used to Rodock's ways, although he takes an immediate shine to his Greek girl Jocasta.

VIBE

A stark, unforgiving landscape mirrors the harsh realities of frontier justice. This is a slow-burn character study, exploring the brutal moral compromises made when civilization clashes with the wild west. Expect stoic performances and a palpable sense of tension.
