When the body of a drifter is discovered the same day a photographer arrives in a small farming community, the local sheriff is left to piece together a string of events that don’t quite add up.
Intersecting story of Sheriff Georgette Gaines and Ergo Reins, a traveling photographer whose arrival happens to coincide with the death of a troubled drifter. Made to look like a farm accident, the drifter’s death is soon called into question, motives become unclear, and a game of cat and mouse ensues…
„If the Coen brothers classic of rural noir and jet black humor set a high bar for those who follow it, debuting writer-director Josh Doke acquits himself admirably.“ – The Public
„The result is a tense thriller with noir undertones revealing a more complex web than we ever could predict.“ – The Film Stage
„It’s a great-looking film, filled with telling details of life out in the flatlands (writer/director Josh Doke is a native of Goodland KS) and features a nifty central performance by area actress Cinnamon Schultz as a sleepy-town sheriff.“ – Butler’s Cinema Scene
