Britt Callum is a man of explosive strength and a nomadic spirit, drifting from town to town because his heavy hands always seem to land him in trouble. After a violent encounter in Oklahoma, he hitches a ride to the dusty plains of Wichita Falls, Texas, looking for a place to finally settle. There, he crosses paths with Rigger Kates, a sadistic and cocky ex-boxer with a "Napoleon complex" who offers Britt work on his struggling wheat farm. The arrangement quickly turns volatile as Britt meets Marcy, Rigger’s beautiful but trapped wife, and Newt, Rigger’s conniving and lecherous brother. Amidst the harsh, bitter winds of the Texas panhandle, a dangerous attraction forms between Britt and Marcy, under the watchful, jealous eyes of the Kates brothers. What follows is a raw and gritty rural noir where lust, survival, and long-buried tempers collide. As the three men fight for dominance and the heart of one woman, their lives are swept up in a storm of human emotion that threatens to shatter everything they’ve built into dust.
