A Modern-day Western

Written & Produced by Angus Watts

Directed by Heath Davis

When estranged tech entrepreneur Ryan Black returns to his remote post-mining boom hometown for his father’s funeral, he’s reluctantly reunited with his ex-con brother. But when he becomes the target of an extortion scam at the hands of desperate small-town criminals, Ryan is forced to resort to extreme measures, exposing the dark underbelly of the sleepy town.
