2001 · 85 min

A quiet, dusty western that moves at its own pace, trading gunfights for moral reckoning and a slow ache of loyalty and loss.

Tagline: On the trail of a killer, it all comes down to one final moment.

When a condemned man's last request brings Flinders into contact with the man's widow, Flinders finds himself falling in love. Meanwhile, a new convict, Mike Sullivan, turns out to be an old friend of Flinders'. They talk over old times, but it's clear that Sullivan has plans to leave the prison before his time is up. When those plans come to pass, Flinders sets out to re-take his old pal.
