Overview
While passing through the town of Bannock, a bunch of drunken cattlemen go overboard with their celebrating and accidentally kill an old man with a stray shot. They return home to Sabbath unaware of his death. Bannock lawman Jered Maddox later arrives there to arrest everyone involved on a charge of murder. Sabbath is run by land baron Vince Bronson, a benevolent despot, who, upon hearing of the death, offers restitution for the incident.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A lawman's rigid pursuit of justice collides with a powerful rancher's comfortable dominion in a town that prefers order to accountability. It's a slow-burn Western about the cost of principle when the law itself becomes the instrument of conflict.
