Set in the old west, a small and somewhat peaceful town sees a stranger walk straight down Main and into the sheriff’s office. Sheriff Jake (Ethan Hawke) hesitates only a moment before granting a warm greeting to his old friend Silva (Pedro Pascal). The energy between them becomes more intense and while the old friends reminisce, the Sheriff knows there’s more to this reunion than a wish to see each other again after so many years. Emotional and physical chaos brings things to a head, and you wonder if their relationship can survive it.
