Solitude, mourning and murder in this noir-hearted, latter-day Wes- tern indie thriller that’s also a haunting character study. The scene: small-town Alaska. The protagonist: an ex-rodeo star in search of obscurity. His adversary: a stranger with a yen for violence who drags him into his vortex. An extraordinarily potent debut feature that’s as rough as backwoods moonshine, this brutal musing on human nature puts director Jamie M. Dagg squarely on the map.
