Local mythology has Buddy Deeds, when only a sheriffs deputy, murdering the corrupt and violent sheriff of the day, Charlie Wade. When Wades remains are found in the desert, Sam finds himself investigating his father and slowly peels away at the story from the perspective of its long-term residents including a local bar owner, Pilars mother and the current mayor. What Sam learns shows his father in a different light and has a direct impact on his own life choices.
