A Western horror anthology where two strangers on the prairie trade increasingly dark tales to unsettle one another, blending frontier nostalgia with supernatural dread.

Two travelers meet on the open prairie, and pass their time together by trading stories with each other. Their tales become a sort of competition, each attempting to relate something which might disturb the other.
