A morally murky spaghetti western about an outlaw's return to his hometown, where trust becomes a liability and violence is the currency of survival.

Escaped outlaw Jose Gomez returns to his home town pursued by bounty killer Luke Chilson. The towns people protect Gomez, unaware, at first, that he is now a changed and dangerous man.
