“THE BUGLE BLAST that echoed thru history!”
Western
After a card game, Southerner Owen Pentecost finds himself the owner of a Denver hotel. Involved with two women, he then has to make even more fundamental choices when, with the start of the Civil War, he becomes one of a Confederate minority in a strongly Unionist town.
VIBE
A contemplative Western that feels like a dusty photograph coming to life. It's a slow, thoughtful journey through shifting loyalties and personal reckoning, set against the dramatic backdrop of a nation divided.
