A grim 1970s slasher-western hybrid about a serial killer preying on a small desert town, blending procedural mystery with graphic violence and paranoia.

A mutilating knife-killer haunts the small Southwest-desert town of Mescal. Though most victims have been prostitutes, the first was none other than Travis Mescal, the only son of the town's first family. When the Sheriff proves unable to solve the case, the town leaders invite Investigator Burns to unravel the mystery.
