## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Apache half-breed scalps one racist sheriff, then leads a posse into the desert where the hunters become the hunted. Charles Bronson’s vengeance-driven lone rider turns frontier justice into a one-way death march through the alkali flats. A brutal, sunbaked western that mistakes sadism for standoffs.

**Mood tags**: gut-punch, neon-soaked, paranoid, raw
