Kinski
Left for dead by the outlaw mayor who slaughtered a family and enslaved their daughter, a drifter rebuilds himself into a gunslinger and comes back for a reckoning.
Written by Matthias Hues and Leslie Carleton
Synopsis
Four years after outlaw mayor Ritley Kerrington murders a farming family for their land and drags off their fourteen-year-old daughter, a half-dead drifter named Kinski crawls out of Death Valley with no explanation for how he survived. He makes his way to the ravaged farmhouse, arms himself from a hidden cache of weapons, and starts working his way toward the boomtown Ritley now rules like a king — where the girl, Helena, has grown up enslaved in the mayor's brothel. What follows is a reckoning: Kinski picking off Ritley's men one by one, a bond that grows between the drifter and the girl he's determined to free, and a final standoff at Ritley's ranch where old debts get paid in blood, at gunpoint, on Ritley's own terms. By the time the smoke clears, Kinski has a family he never expected, a debt of his own to a woman named Samantha, and a grave to kneel at with the two people he has left.
